Questions

How many halal slaughter plants does Illinois have?

5 establishments in Illinois carry the flag in the FSIS directory of 2026-09-01, in 5 counties. 4 of them also report custom-exempt work, which is what a household needs to have its own animal processed.

What does the halal flag mean?

Establishments whose FSIS record carries the religious exemption flag for halal slaughter, which permits slaughter by the religious method under 9 CFR 313.1 with inspection otherwise unchanged. The flag records capability reported to FSIS, not a certification; ask the plant which certifier, if any, it works with.

Are state-inspected plants included?

No. This list is federal grants of inspection only. Illinois also runs a state meat inspection program whose plants can sell within the state; the state agency keeps that list, and the Illinois buying guide explains how the two systems fit together.
