" Pizza Express is serving ritually-slaughtered halal chicken in every dish on its menu that uses the meat, it has emerged. "
" But customers are only told that the chicken they are eating is killed in line with strict Islamic law if they ask staff, as it is not stated on menus. "
" Under Islamic law, chicken can only be eaten if the bird’s throat has been slit while it is still alive. A Koranic verse is also recited during the ritual. "
" Some non-Muslims object to halal because they claim the method of slaughter can cause unnecessary suffering. "
" The firm, which has 434 restaurants across the UK, states on its website: “All our chicken is halal approved but it is important to note that all birds are stunned before being slaughtered. "
