Responsibilities
Halal and quality
British lamb and mutton, certified halal by the Halal Monitoring Committee (HMC) and labelled carcass by carcass for traceability.
From the farm through to processing and distribution, we maintain high standards of quality, hygiene and traceability. Here is what stands behind them.
01 Halal certification
Certified by the Halal Monitoring Committee
Pak Mecca Meats is certified halal by the Halal Monitoring Committee (HMC).
HMC certification gives you, and your customers, assurance of halal authenticity from farm to plate.
Our British lamb and mutton is carefully sourced and processed, with animals slaughtered in accordance with Halal requirements.
02 Food safety
Food safety
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) oversees approved meat plants, and its officials work in them.
Food safety is managed under HACCP-based procedures, as the law requires of every approved plant. HACCP (hazard analysis and critical control points) means finding each point where a food safety hazard could arise, and controlling it.
Our processing plant is operated by our sister company, Midlands Meat Processors Ltd, under FSA approval GB 2932.
03 Animal welfare
Welfare comes first
The welfare of our animals, and of our suppliers' animals, is the first of our values.
On arrival, sheep are rested in the lairage pens before processing. Treating livestock with respect is right in principle, and it shows in the quality of the meat.

04 Traceability
Every carcass labelled
Traceability runs through the whole supply chain. Every animal is identified by its official ear tag and its movement documents, and that identification is recorded through processing, so each carcass can be linked back to the animal or batch it came from.
Every carcass label carries its traceability details: its identification or batch, its weight, and its classification or grade where it applies, like the label in the photograph. Records are kept as the law and food safety rules require.
