A school has been forced to apologise to parents after dozens of Muslim school children were served up ice-cream containing pork.
The mix-up was only flagged up after some children at the school had already eaten the ice cream.
Instead of the usually Halal-friendly dessert, the school were sent ice-cream laced with pork gelatain by a supplier.
The issue was raised at Lodge Primary School in Birmingham - but is understood to have affected a number of schools across the city.
A letter has now been sent to parents apologising for what happened, Birmingham Mail reported .
The mistake was only noticed after some pupils at the school, which has a large Muslim intake, had eaten the ice-cream.
The dessert was a new addition to the school’s menu, which was introduced last week. [Daily Mirror] Read more
