Halal Food Certification Worries UK Muslims

Following recent fiasco surrounding pork traces found in halal food, the relation between Lancashire Council of Mosques and the city council has come to a deadlock after raising concerns about the certification of halal food supplied to schools.

“The Muslim community of Lancashire is utterly shocked that the supplier of pork contaminated products is certified by the Halal Food Authority,” the statement issued by Lancashire Council of Mosques was cited by The Asian Image website on Thursday, February 8.

“We urge communities and schools across Lancashire to boycott HFA-accredited products until further investigation.”

The stalemate started three months ago when the organization urged parents not to allow their children to eat school meals provided by Lancashire County Council which contain meat.

The warning came because of concerns over whether halal products were properly accredited by the authorities approved by the council.

The problem aggravated after traces of pork were found in food deliveries to prisons by a local halal meat supplier.

The incident was made public after a spokeswoman for the Food Standards Agency said the halal meat supplied to prisons involved traces of pork.

The discovery comes after horsemeat was found in beefburgers stocked by major British supermarket chains, with one brand of burger coming in at 29 percent horse.

Muslims do not eat pork and consider pigs and their meat filthy and unhealthy to eat.

After the finding the Lancashire Council of Mosques called for an investigation into the halal food industry.
