What we found about Pieminister and halal
Pieminister is a British pie company that says it uses free-range British meat. Its vegetarian pies are Vegetarian Society approved and its Kevin pie carries The Vegan Society's mark. A pie with meat is only halal if the meat is, and we found no halal certificate for any Pieminister pie.
The vegan and vegetarian pies avoid that question, but pastry and gravy can contain other ingredients, so read the pack. Pubs and restaurants that serve the pies may use other suppliers.
