\"Top-tier<\/a>
Top-tier quality, fully zabihah slaughtered meat from Creekstone Beef<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A new blog has just burst onto the Muslim blogsphere scene, Muslim Eater<\/strong> (http:\/\/muslimeater.com<\/a>) – with a magnificent debut post<\/a> about how a major, top-tier beef supplier in Kansas is actually fully halal certified. That supplier is Creekstone Beef and all of their beef is hand-slaughtered zabiha halal by Muslim staff.<\/p>\n

I had a copy of Muslim Eater’s list of initial restaurants here, but instead check out the original post<\/a> for the list, as he updates that fairly often. Some restaurants have denied serving Creekstone and of course new ones are added all the time. Bookmark that page! <\/p>\n

The post is incredibly detailed and addresses virtually every possible concern that any committed halalaterian may have about whether they can trust this info. This is incredible news for any Muslim foodie \ud83d\ude42 I also heartily recommend following Muslim Eateron twitter at @muslim_eater<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Related links about Creekstone: Creekstone’s website<\/a>, and a NYT article<\/a> on Creekstone’s beef quality. <\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/strong> (12\/16\/14) – Midamar, a halal meat supplier, has been charged with fraud<\/a> over deceptive practices in relabeling non-halal beef as halal. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
