An investigation is under way after batches of halal meat products sent to prisons were found to contain traces of pork DNA.
Pies and pasties have been withdrawn from a number of prisons following the discovery by the Food Standards Agency.
UK Justice Minister Jeremy Wright said the incident was absolutely unacceptable.
Under Islamic law, Muslims are strictly forbidden to eat pork.
The products had been distributed to a number of prisons in England, with no indication that the problem has affected prisoners north of the Border.
Mr Wright said the incident was being investigated as a matter of urgency.
He added: "This is an absolutely unacceptable situation and one which we regret greatly. Clearly this must be distressing for those affected and they can be reassured we are doing everything we can to resolve the situation."
The Ministry of Justice said it commissioned tests after the recent high-profile incidents in which beefburgers sold by some supermarket chains were found to contain horse meat.

Muslims are strictly forbidden to eat pork. Let the word go out from this time forward:
All prison food CONTAINS PORK!

Everybody knows you’re supposed to run pork through a dog first before you feed it to muslims

They don’t think twice about chopping off our heads and we on the other hand lose sleep over the fact that we might be violating their prohibition on pork.
Oy!!

Too bad...no pies...no pastries...poor f’ing babies in jail.
Try to distract yourselves at the big screen tv with cable, the library or the pool table.

Thank you for your service.
You seem to have had a very interesting life.

Ironic, isn't it, that the most violent and angry places on Earth are the same places that have no BACON!

Years ago I had a consulting job in Turkey, which is almost 95% Muslim. My first morning in the hotel, I found that the breakfast buffet included bacon. I was glad I didn't have to do without it.
