university · Davis, CA
UC Davis publishes halal-label criteria and a halal-hot-dog supplier, but no site or program certifier is named.
UC Davis uses an H icon for dishes that meet its stated ingredient and meat-sourcing criteria. A separate partner page names Miller’s Craft Meats as the supplier of halal hot dogs for university dining channels, and the supplier markets halal-certified beef franks. These sources provide product/supplier-level evidence, not independent certification of UC Davis dining facilities or the H-label program.
The public claim and scope
UC Davis says H-icon dishes exclude pork, non-halal-certified animal meat and meat-derived products, gelatin, and stated alcohol ingredients. It separately names Miller’s Craft Meats for halal hot dogs.
Institution-managed menu designation for individual dishes and a supplier/product disclosure for halal hot dogs used in specified catering, residential, and retail dining channels.
How approval or assurance is publicly described
No current program certifier is named in the reviewed sources
UC Davis publishes the H-icon criteria. The named supplier makes a product-level halal-certified claim, but neither page identifies the certifier, certificate details, or an independent UC Davis site/program audit.
What is publicly established
- UC Davis publicly defines the H icon and the ingredient and meat-certification criteria used for labelled dishes.
- UC Davis names Miller’s Craft Meats as the supplier of halal hot dogs for named dining channels.
- Miller’s public product page calls the relevant product halal-certified beef franks.
What is not publicly established
- A current named certifier for UC Davis Dining Services, a dining site, or the H-icon review process.
- A current certificate showing independent halal oversight of a UC Davis dining facility or program.
- The certifier, certificate number, validity dates, manufacturing-site scope, or precise UC Davis applicability of the supplier product claim.
What this means in practice
UC Davis provides useful criteria and a named supplier, so this record is more traceable than an unexplained menu label. The public evidence still stops at product/supplier level and does not establish independent oversight of the university’s foodservice operations.
Evidence boundary: UC Davis lists several halal certifying organizations as resources, but it does not say that any of them certifies UC Davis. This record does not infer absence of private supplier documents or controls.
