Chicken

I bought this small frozen chicken, more for the label than anything. I am not sure you can read the small print in the red boxed area under the picture of a hand holding a large knife. Inside the red box it says "slaughtered by hand with a sharp knife as per Islamic rites."

Many of the Islamic food restrictions are similar to those of Judiasm, for the same reasons. I am told that the Islamic rites referred to on the label are similar to kosher slaughtering, and butchering.

It is a well traveled chicken. It came all the way from Brazil.
