You are welcome.
The stunning (which is not a blunt instrument, it is an electrical charge)process renders the beast insensible so no pain is registered by the animal.
I cannot be sure in my own mind that the person who uses the sharp knife has accurately located the jugular vein.....or that the knife is as sharp as it needs to be.
Also,I am told,that frequently in halal slaughter, the prayer or blessing is on the blade to remove the need for it to actually be spoken....to speed up the process.
I know that I should take things I am told with a good dose of salts, but it makes you wonder what other practices are done in the name of speed.

Yes, adequate, CLEAR labelling is definitely the way forward so that we can make a choice.
