Nandos can buy Halal meat with the intent of selling it in areas with a high Muslim population and serve non-Muslims in those restaurants without breaking the law.

1) They ARE NOT serving residential areas. Eg Subway is used by shoppers, workers, but NOT residents. Just look at the locations. 2) Even in a high Muslim residential area, The proportion of that Muslim population buying there will be very low. 3) They are Halal because of the faith of the franchisee, NOT who the customers are.

Germany gives no-stunning permissions to abattoirs, but only if they show they have local religious customers for the request. Very few are in fact given.

Production volumes of Halal and Kosher meat indicate that much is sold to the general public, who are not able to see the slaughter method used in its production as there are no labelling laws.

Jews and Muslims combined represent about 3% of the UK population. Though the Muslim population is rising somewhat, Halal meat supply has gone from an 11% share of meat sales in 2001 to an estimated 25% in 2008, according to the Halal Food Authority, a certification body. Farmers Weekly, a magazine for farmers, reported in 2010 that 40% of poultry and 25-30% of lamb consumed meets Halal specifications.
