The holy month of Ramzanalso means feasting at the food hubs in the evenings, where kebabs and the choicest of meats are on display. The iftar hotspots also end up serving some exotic fare like emu, teetar and camel meats. The availability of these meats does get the foodies excited, but did you know there are only six kinds of meat that are legally permissable in the country. Previously, Dr Manilal Valliyate of PETA India, had told us, “The killing of animals other than these six broad groups are prohibited in India as per The Food Safety and Standards Act and Regulations.” According to the FSS Act and Regulations, only six kinds of meat are permissable in the country. These include ovines (sheep), caprines (goat), suillines (pigs), bovines (buffaloes), poultry (mainly chicken) and fish.
