Halal Food Policy in School Restaurants & Cafeteria
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
