The way that's worded 'the meat must be intended for consumption by Jews or Muslims' makes me think it's isn't illegal to sell halal meat to non-Muslims or Jews as long as you can reasonably show you
intended to provide it for Muslims or Jews. So if you set up a halal butcher in a area with a high Muslim or Jewish population then you would meet that requirement even if end up selling halal meet to people who don't qualify.
