**2. H. alal Salami Processing ¯**

Halal meat is generally consumed as fresh meat, or as processed products, such as pasties, ¯ sausages, luncheon meat, turkey breast, bologna or salami.

Generally, salami means fermented and dried sausages manufactured with raw pork, beef or a mixture of pork and beef meat, although other animal species (goat, sheep, goose, horse, donkey, turkey, wild boar) can be used, depending on the typical products and on the geographic area of production [25,26]. Nevertheless, only some of these species could be transformed to halal salami, ¯ and the raw meat must be obtained from ritually slaughtered animals. The different raw materials, as well as the ingredients which should be in compliance with halal prescriptions raise issues that need ¯ to be addressed.
