Quite simply, halal means permissible in the Quran and applies to beef, lamb, poultry and fish (with fins and scales) that have been slaughtered and prepared according to Muslim law. In contrast, haram means forbidden or non-permissible in the Quran and applies to dishes or food containing pork/pork products, shellfish, seafood without fins and scales, gelatine, fats, alcohol, and select animal-based additives.
Halal protein options available in your dining hall
Halal dining has never been so convenient at Dal! Starting this year, we have begun to source halal meats for use in our regular menu. Throughout the week, you will find halal chicken and beef at many of our dining hall stations. In fact, we are looking at sourcing options so that the pepperoni and chicken used on pizza is halal.
To identify which stations are currently serving halal options, please look for this icon:
Note: in addition to the halal protein options available throughout the week, we also serve vegan and vegetarian options everyday.
Here for you
We want to serve you and accommodate your dietary preferences, and we are always learning how to do this better. Please let your dining hall manager, your cooks, and me know if there is anything we can do to make your dining hall experience more enjoyable.
