I'm sorry to tell you, but I am 99% sure all meat at Coles and Woolworths is Halal and Kosher. I don't know any Muslim or Jewish friends who avoid buying meat from Woolworths or Coles (unless, of course, it is Pork).

Having known people work in the food industry for most of their lives, I have been told most food is considered "Halal" or "Kosher" so long as it has been accredited by an appropriate religious figure in Australia today. This includes cows killed in a regular abattoir.

So, you might as well go Vegetarian....
