Soldiers secretly being fed halal meat The Ministry of Defence admits it does not label food as halal or kosher in its UK or overseas bases, with only soldiers who request these meals told what they are eating
Soldiers are unwittingly being fed halal meat in military bases, the Ministry of Defence has admitted.
The MoD has confirmed that only troops who request specific meals are told the source of the meat they are eating.
Food served in MoD canteens in both UK and permanent bases abroad is not routinely labelled to indicate it has been slaughtered using religious methods to ensure it is halal or kosher.
