The Food Safety and Standards (Food Products Standards and Food
Additives) Regulations, 2011 under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006,
wherein definition of animals is given, and approved.

As per sub-regulation 2.5.1 (a)"animal" means an animal belonging to any

of the species specified below:

(i) Ovines (sheep).

(ii) Caprines (goats or goat-antelopes).
(iii) Suillines (pig family).
(iv) Bovines (ox and cow including buffalo).
(v) Domestic Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and includes poultry and

Direction issued for Slaughter / Meat Processing Unit for registration on
Bharat Pashudhan app (NDLM) under the Section 39 of PCICDA Act, 2009:

Power to issue directions-

The Central Government may, with the object of prevention, control and
eradication of any infectious or contagious disease of animals, issue
such directions to the State Government or other authorities under this
Act, from time to time, including directions for furnishing such returns
and statistics on scheduled diseases, and vaccination, as it may deem
fit and every such direction shall be complied with.

Ritual Slaughter:
Ritual slaughter is slaughter done according to the religious
requirements of either the Jewish (sachet) or Muslim (Halal) and Hindu
(Jhatka) religious faith. The animal is slaughtered, with / without being
stunned, with a razor-sharp knife. When the cut is done correctly, the
animal appears not to feel it. From an animal welfare standpoint, the
major concerns during ritual slaughter are the stressful and cruel
methods of restraint (holding) that are used in some plants. Progressive
slaughter plants use devices to hold the animal in a comfortable,
upright position. For both humane and safety reasons, plants which
conduct ritual slaughter should install modern upright restraining
equipment.
Streamlining of Halal Certification Process for Meat and Meat Products:
"Halal" and "haram" are terms used in Islam to classify what is permissible
(halal) and what is forbidden or prohibited (haram) according to Islamic law
(Sharia).
Halal:
This term refers to things or actions that are permissible or lawful
according to Islamic teachings. It encompasses various aspects of life,
including food, behavior, and business dealings. For example, halal
food adheres to specific guidelines, such as the avoidance of pork and
alcohol, and the use of humane methods in animal slaughter.
 4

Haram:
Haram, on the other hand, denotes what is forbidden or prohibited in
Islam. Actions or items labeled as haram are considered sinful or
unlawful according to Islamic teachings. This can include actions like
consuming alcohol, eating pork, engaging in dishonest business
practices, or engaging in certain behaviors or relationships that are
prohibited by Islamic law.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) oversees food
regulations in India. The Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and
Registration of Food Businesses) Regulations, 2011, are part of the legal
framework governing food businesses in the country. However, these
regulations primarily focus on food safety and hygiene standards rather than
religious or cultural practices related to animal slaughter.
Regarding stunning before animal slaughtering, while the FSSAI regulations
emphasize standards for the hygiene and safety of food processing, they
might not specifically mandate stunning before slaughter. The regulations
primarily focus on ensuring that food businesses maintain hygienic
conditions, follow good manufacturing practices, and meet safety standards
during various stages of food processing, including animal slaughter.
However, specific requirements or regulations related to stunning before
animal slaughtering might exist at the state or local level, and these could
potentially conflict with traditional halal practices. In such cases, there might
be discussions or debates between religious practices and food safety
regulations.
It's essential to review both the FSSAI regulations and any additional local or
state regulations that might specifically address stunning before animal
slaughter to get a comprehensive understanding of the legal requirements
and their implications on religious or cultural practices related to animal
slaughter in India.
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Slaughter House) Rules, 2001, which were
amended in 2010, include provisions that mandate stunning before animal
slaughtering in India. These rules were put in place to ensure the humane
treatment of animals during slaughter and are aimed at improving animal
welfare standards in slaughterhouses.
The amended rules include guidelines for the proper handling and slaughter
of animals in registered slaughterhouses. Among the provisions is the
requirement for stunning animals before slaughter to minimize suffering and
ensure a more humane process.
However, these regulations might conflict with traditional halal methods that
emphasize specific religious practices during animal slaughter, where
stunning before slaughter is not part of the process.
This requirement has led to debates and discussions within religious
communities, particularly among those following Islamic dietary laws, as
stunning before slaughter might not align with their religious practices.
 5

The implementation and adherence to these rules can vary across regions and
slaughterhouses in India. While the rules aim to improve animal welfare, they
can pose challenges for communities that follow specific religious guidelines
for animal slaughter.

Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses)
Regulations, 2011:
Rule 4.0 Slaughter:
Animals are slaughtered by being first stunned and then exsanguinated (bled
out). Stunning can be affected through asphyxiating the animals with carbon
dioxide, shooting them with a gun or a captive bolt pistol, or shocking them
with electric current.
Rule 4.1. Stunning:
Stunning before slaughter should be mandatory. By inducing
unconsciousness and insensibility, stunning can avoid and minimise
reactions of fear and anxiety as well as pain, suffering and distress among the
animals concerned. Stunning methods induce temporary loss of
consciousness and rely on prompt and accurate sticking procedures to cause
death.
It is important that the equipment utilized for stunning and slaughter is
maintained in good working condition and that all operators involved are well
trained and have a positive attitude towards the welfare of animals.
Electrical stunning consists of passing electricity through the brain to
produce instantaneous insensibility.

As per official website of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind Halal Trust, their website:

jamiathalaltrust.org
Stunning of Animals prior to Slaughtering:
Due to possibilities of causing grievous injuries to the animal before
slaughtering and the requirements of Islamic Shariah which orders
to apply methods which cause least amount of pain stunning of
animals is not recommended. Most of the Islamic countries don't
accept stunning.
Whereas, National Accreditation Board for Certification Bodies, granted
Accreditation No. PC 034, overruling legal mechanism of animal slaughtering.

Any suitable orders, deems fit.
