'Traces of pork DNA' found in Halal prison meat
 
Quote:

The Ministry of Justice is to suspend a firm supplying meat to prisons after tests found that it may have provided pies and pasties described as Halal - but with traces of pork DNA.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) said the "local authority" involved was investigating, while the MoJ said the products have been withdrawn.
Justice minister Jeremy Wright said the incident was "absolutely unacceptable".
Under Islamic law, Muslims are strictly forbidden to eat pork.
Quote:

"This is very serious because no Muslim would ever eat pork meat - anything to do with pork - and it must be very distressing for those in prison who have been given this meat to realise they may have been eating food which was contaminated with pig."
Unbelievable.

I don't really see it being an issue ,as mentioned in the other thread if they where that devout they would not be in prison .I'm afraid this will just encourage a lot of prisoners to all of a sudden be devout Muslims and get loads of compensation

We'll probably have a protest or two as well.

So everyone in prison is guilty right? And no one has ever made the wrong decision?

Have you ever heard also of people going to prison for downloading copyright material?

you should think before you type.

.

Pretty much yes ,making the wrong decision doesn't make a person innocent

A minor crime but still a crime and not sure if anyone has actually gone to jail for downloading music/films in the UK

I did ,long and hard ,i decided that i couldn't give a rats about prisoners food .Some of the prisoners should feel lucky they get fed at all.Quite frankly it's a fuss over nothing and we should be more concerned about what law abiding citizens are eating

What about those that have been released years later because they're innocent?
they didn't make any decisions. the people who put them in there made the decisions for them.

TV licences and not having one carries a custodial sentence.

Does inciting people to riot have a custodial sentence ;)

Anyway, i hope they find out who has been telling porkies about what meat was in the pies.
