Why Costco's Kirkland Signature Meat Is Not Considered Halal - Tasting Table
Briefly

Costco is recognized for its affordable meat options, but it does not consistently offer halal Kirkland Signature meat. Although the halal meat market is expanding, only 15% of meat in the UK meets halal criteria, while the U.S. market is gradually growing. Halal meat must adhere to specific Islamic laws regarding animal welfare, humane slaughter, and purification. Shoppers looking for halal Kirkland meat should check for certification on the packaging to ensure it meets halal requirements.
According to the American Halal Foundation, the blood is removed to rid the carcass of any bacteria, toxins, and germs. If this technique isn't followed, the meat is considered forbidden.
Halal refers to the way animals are treated before and after they are slaughtered for food. It translates to permissible in Arabic and dictates what meats Muslims can eat.
