Pizza Express reveal ALL the chicken they use is halal
 
Pizza Express reveal ALL the chicken they use is halal - but they don't tell customers unless they ask staff
  • All chicken used in chain's food is prepared according to Islamic traditions
  • No mention of issue on menu and only appears in small print on website
  • Critics have accused the 434-restaurant chain of 'duping' its customers

"Meat inspector Richard North said chains such as Pizza Express served halal chicken to save money.
He added: ‘Keeping halal and non-halal meat is expensive and creates the risk of non-halal being fed to Muslims, which shops and restaurants know will cause uproar. Maybe they think non-Muslims are less likely to complain.’"

Yes
After the Halal Bloke Cuts its Throat

I don't see why it's sneaky. The chicken is dead, most people don't spend any time thinking about the millions of chickens who are killed every week in abattoirs in the UK and most people wouldn't have any clue how they're killed. What difference will it make to them?

Crimson Dynamo 07-05-2014 08:56 AM

People need to know before they decide to visit. Superstition should not be part of the food chain.

Shame

Is this gonna be the new horse meat scandal (something else that was blown out of proportion) but this time to stir up Islamaphobia?

Says who?

Well people know now don't they. And what difference do you think it'll make? None.

Incidentally, religion and superstition are two different concepts.

It's chicken - as advertised. It's dead. How much more clarity do you want?

ikr! It's not like they give them a handful of Valium and a large vodka and hold their little wing while they fall asleep. It's a story worthy of the UKIP press office.

Benjamin 07-05-2014 09:15 AM

Most food chains use Halal and don't say, Harvester use Halal.

Crimson Dynamo 07-05-2014 09:18 AM

I beginning to wonder now if all these years I have been singing

"halal, halal we are the Billy Boys" at Ibrox :suspect:




one for football fans only

Livia 07-05-2014 09:20 AM

We sing Bubbles when I go to footie. It's a secular song.

It's more expensive, that's why i never buy it.

:shrug: Makes no difference to me

Josy 07-05-2014 10:30 AM

It makes a difference to some people, that's why it should be made known to their customers.
