A Bolton Council spokesman

A Bolton Council spokesman said: "We would like to sincerely apologise for any upset caused to parents and children by this mistake.

"This incident occurred at one school and we would like to stress that this was an isolated incident.

"A batch of frozen chocolate mousses was supplied by one of our food suppliers in place of the halal accredited frozen yoghurts that we had ordered.

"When it came to our notice that the mousses contained pork gelatine they were immediately withdrawn."

The statement added that the town council are working to ensure such an incident does not happen again.

The school's headteacher Emily Kirk said this is the first time non-halal food has been served to Muslims by mistake.
