        "content": "<p>Eid al-Adha is synonymous with the slaughter of sacrificial animals,\nincluding goats, cattle, or buffaloes. According to the official website\nof the Ministry of Religious Affairs\u2019 Bimas Islam, the slaughtering\nperiod begins after the Eid al-Adha prayer on the 10th of Zulhijjah and\nextends through the Tasyrik days, which are the 11th to 13th of\nZulhijjah. Thus, the final deadline for sacrificial animal slaughter is\nthe 13th of Zulhijjah. Recommendations for Packaging Sacrificial Meat in\nFood-Grade Containers Citing the MUI website, the use of safe and\nhygienic packaging for distributing sacrificial meat is crucial to\nmaintaining food quality and reducing contamination risks. Henny\nNuraini, a lecturer at IPB University\u2019s Faculty of Animal Husbandry and\na halal auditor for LPPOM, recommends the public use food-grade\npackaging during meat distribution. She noted that ordinary plastic not\nintended for food contact poses risks to food safety, particularly when\nin prolonged contact with meat. \u201cThe solution is to use food-grade\nplastic, thinwall packaging, or food-grade plastic boxes, along with\nenvironmentally friendly packaging that remains safe for food,\u201d said\nHenny, who is also a researcher at IPB University\u2019s Halal Studies\nCentre. She explained that besides food-grade plastic, the public can\nalso use alternative packaging such as bamboo baskets, cardboard boxes,\nwrapping paper, or locally available leaves like banana leaves. However,\nshe cautioned that cardboard boxes should have an additional lining as\nthey are prone to leakage when used for fresh meat. Glass containers are\nsafe for food but are less economical for large-scale meat distribution.\nHenny emphasised that packaging cleanliness is paramount. Used packaging\nmust be clean and fit for purpose to prevent cross-contamination. She\nalso recommended separating meat, offal, and bones during packaging to\navoid cross-contamination and maintain meat quality until it reaches the\npublic. \u201cConsidering food safety, practicality, and environmental\nsustainability, the public can select the most suitable packaging based\non local needs and conditions,\u201d she added.<\/p>",
