What Meat is Kosher for Gentiles?

Some people cook and eat tails that have been cut off (bobbed) from live sheep. This is a forbidden food.

In this recording, Dr. Michael Schulman reads from a transcript of his on-line interview with Dr. Temple Grandin. The interview took place on April 12, 20’02. For many years, Dr. Grandin has been a leading expert on animal welfare and humane slaughter in the meat industry.

We addressed many points of interest about the Noahide prohibition of eating meat that was removed from a living animal. Those who wish to increase their level of observance will also be interested. The unedited, full text of the chat session was posted on the web site of the North American Meat Institute with member log-in. This audio file is an edited version of the chat session.

We have arranged the communications into the logical flow of the discussion. Questions that were unrelated to Noahide issues have been omitted. To read the transcript of the interview, CLICK HERE.

There are more details for fulfilling this Noahide prohibition. We have posted them on-line, from Part IV of our book The Divine Code by Rabbi Moshe Weiner of Jerusalem.

Commercial USDA meat from slaughterhouses that follow the government regulations is fully permissible for Gentiles to eat.
