On a basic level, the two traditions are similar as they both provide alternative choices for those who adhere to a unique level of dietary preferences. Halal is an Islamic tradition that has literally fed billions of people over the past 1,400 years. Halal promotes the sacred tradition of respect for the land, fair treatment for farmers, humane treatment of livestock and clean, healthy food to eat. Much like Kosher foods, Halal is simply a choice that we believe consumers should have available to them.
