The Halal Monitoring Committee works with companies who are involved in the production and supply of Halal food, to independently certify all products to provide assurance to the Muslim community that all food meets the high standards of Halal. The current range of foods needs to be expanded. Regular customer engagement with both students and staff will be required to ensure this is the case moving into the contract term.
