Nearly 200 UK Subways are halal only

Subway removes ham and bacon from nearly 200 stores and offers halal meat only after 'strong demand' from Muslims

I wonder if this is going to happen here?

Will it happen here ?  If Subway Australia management deem it to be profitable (a fine capitalist motive) then probably yes. I'm sure Subway won't do it because they're pressured into it.  It will be a business decision.  

Love all the comments at the foot of the article from the waa-waa brigade "well that's the last they see of my 50 quid a week"   maybe they can shop at the other 1,315 Subway stores in the UK. Sheesh.

And the problem is?

The thing is you probably don't even know you are eating halal meat. All Australian processesoors by law have to have procedures in place for processing their meat for halal consumption.

So sticker or not, I am sure much of the meat already makes it onto your subway even though it doesn't have the dreaded sticker.

If there is no difference in taste and the process does not cause health problems, where is the problem.

The only real problem is the no bacon/ham for those who eat it, if it goes rural where there is no other option.

Mind you none of which will effect me as I rarely eat bacon/ham anyway.

I guess this would only happen at muslim owned franchises anyway.

If a shop didn't have the ingredients I enjoy on a sandwich.....I would go somewhere else.....

I love both bacon and ham...

We put a programme into 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. 

SUBWAY SUBS AFFECTED BY RULES

Subs
Chicken and Bacon Ranch Melt
Steak and Cheese
Meatball Marinara
Subway Melt - ham, bacon, turkey breast and cheese
Italian B.M.T. - pepperoni, salami and ham
Spicy Italian - pepperoni and salami
Chicken Avocado

Breakfast subs
Bacon
Mega Melt - bacon, sausage, egg and cheese
Sausage
Bacon, Egg and Cheese
Sausage, Egg and Cheese

All ham and bacon is replaced by turkey ham and turkey rashers and all meat is prepared according to Islamic halal rules.

'All our suppliers comply with EU animal welfare legislation as a minimum and we require suppliers of halal products to adopt the stunning of animals prior to their slaughter.

'All halal meats are certified by the appropriate halal authorities.

'All halal Subway stores have numerous signs stating that they serve halal food.

'These are situated on the menu panels, nutritional information and in the front window of the store.

I can't see an issue, I expect there are enough stores for anyone who objects to find another one, close by.

Why remove bacon and ham? surely those who can't/won't/don't eat it can order a Subway with else on it. Quite frankly I find it offensive that they deem this animal to be un clean, what a load of HOGWASH

the link says, it's only a select number of stores and they are catering to their highest percentage of customers. If it happened here, there are 5 subway outlets within a 3k radius of me. One outlet serving turkey rashers instead of bacon rashers should not upset anyone.
