Halal Food Policy in School Restaurants & Cafeteria

Peter Cawthron made this Freedom of Information request to Hounslow Borough Council

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Hounslow Borough Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

From: Peter Cawthron

28 October 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like details of the Borough’s policy on Halal food in
school and college restaurants, cafes and cafeteria.

Specifically:

(i) Is there a policy in any establishments that only Halal
products are to be used?

(ii) When sausages are served are only beef sausages used as part
of a Halal policy?

(iii) Is pork ham excluded from the menu as part of any Halal
policy?

(iv) Are certificates display on the walls of dining rooms etc.
stating that all meat products are from Halal butchers?

If a policy is in place then I would like to know:

1. When was this policy introduced?

2. To what proportion of all the Boroughs education establishments
does the policy apply? This should be expressed s a percentage.

3. A list of all the establishments where any such policy has been
implemented. This can consist simply of a list of names of the
establishments.

Yours faithfully,

Peter Cawthron

Veggie meals should serve the purpose, if they're available, as well as pleasing children with Hindu or Jain parents who agree with their parent's diet habits but are shy to ask for change. Usually healthier too.
