Is Halal Meat Pink?

Published in Halal Meat Color 1 min read

No, Halal meat is not typically pink; it is usually lighter in color.

Halal slaughtering practices prioritize draining the blood from the animal. According to one source, Halal meat is always of light color because the Halal slaughtering process allows the animal to drain out most of its blood, even from the very tiny veins present inside the meat, which contributes to the red pigmentation.

This thorough blood drainage results in a lighter-colored meat compared to meat processed through other methods where more blood remains within the tissues.
