The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department instructs schools to inform parents of whether meat served in school meals comes from non-stunned slaughter.

The government sets out required minimum standards for school food in the School Food Standards, to ensure that children are served healthy, nutritious meals at school. The standards do not specify food requirements in terms of cultural or religious needs.
