Our halal commitment
Since 2010, at 403 Rue Léopold I in Jette. Here is exactly where our meat comes from, how it is slaughtered and who checks it.
All the meat sold at Boucherie Léopold I is halal. It comes from Islamic ritual slaughter carried out at the Matanza slaughterhouse in Ronse, Belgium.
That slaughter is performed without stunning and without electronarcosis, neither before nor after. This is not our own wording : it is the exact statement written on our certifying body’s document, which you can read in full below.
We are not asking you to take our word for it. Two independent bodies are involved along the chain, and their documents can be read here, in full and uncropped.
Lambs and lamb offal
Certificate number BEW5140623SL, valid until 31 December 2026. The association certifies that the lambs it stamps come from halal ritual slaughter, without stunning, neither before nor after. The certificate also covers caul fat, pluck, green tripe and lamb hearts.
On site control, every Monday and every Thursday
An inspector performs the Islamic ritual slaughter within the Matanza premises two days a week. Every ritually slaughtered carcass is stamped in ink with the body’s logo. Attestation valid until 31 December 2026.
Both documents are displayed in full.
Every ritually slaughtered animal is recorded. A control sheet for a given slaughter day can be obtained on request : it lists the sanitel number of each animal, its date of birth and its category.
