Schools in north London are no longer serving pupils sausages, chops or bacon after pork was taken off the menu for religious reasons, it has emerged.
Islington Council has stopped supplying pork to local primary schools in case young Jewish or Muslim children eat the meat by accident and contravene their beliefs.
Offering a choice of pork dishes was an "unnecessary cost", a spokesman said, because staff would have to monitor what every child ate.
"Young children, some as young as four, of different religious and ethnic backgrounds may not know which foods contain pork, or may not realise the importance of avoiding it due to their culture or beliefs," the spokesman said.
