Major General Karl Harris CBE has signed an Armed Forces Covenant with Tariq Halal Meats, the UK and Europe’s biggest halal meat supplier, in a landmark agreement aimed at 'supporting British military personnel, veterans and their families'.
The majority of meat now used by The British Army will be Halal certified. The British Army has indicated there is now no need to provide a 'Halal Option' as most of the meat is Halal.
Major General Harris signed the pact, on behalf of the British military, with Dr Tariq Sheikh, the British-Pakistani businessman and founder of Tariq Halal Meats, at the company’s headquarters in Wembley, London, on Armistice Day.
