SHAFAQNA- World Halal Food Festival was held at the London Stadium in Stratford on Saturday (23 Sep. 2023). The event is being held 10 years on from the first Halal-centric food festival that was launched in the capital. In the years since, the availability and acceptance of Halal food has increased hugely.
Finding Halal meat in a supermarket is almost a given and the types of cuisines that are available to halal consumers continues to broaden. There are also signs that non-Muslims are seeking out halal food, especially meat, while some of the fastest growing food chains in the UK are Muslim-owned.
Saba Ali moved to London from Scotland eight years ago. “We were so surprised when we moved down here and there was a Halal butcher desk in our local Tesco,” Ali said. “You wouldn’t get that in Scotland.”
