Cambridge branch of Subway switches to Halal meat

A Cambridge branch of the sandwich chain Subway is switching to halal meat - to cater for its Muslim customers.

Pork products, including ham and bacon, have been banned, and other meat must be sourced, slaughtered and processed according to strict rules.

The giant fast-food company has converted nearly 200 of its stores nationwide to halal meat “in order to meet consumer demand.”

In a statement, the company said: “Due to the growing popularity of the Subway chain, with the diverse multicultural population across the UK and Ireland, we put a programme in place in 2007 to ensure that the population demographic is taken into account when new store openings are considered in order that we meet consumer demand in each location.

Only one of the 12, the Subway branch at 301-303 Mill Road in Cambridge, has become a halal store.
