You must meet all of the following requirements for halal and kosher religious slaughter:
- it must take place in a slaughterhouse (abattoir) approved by the Food Standards Agency (FSA)
- it must be done by someone who has a certificate of competence (CoC)
- the slaughter must be done in a way that follows Jewish or Islamic religious practice
- the meat must be intended for consumption by Jews or Muslims
