The sausage containing pig blood, bacon and pork was served along with the other dishes, including halal and vegetarian options, German government officials claimed, adding that all food on the buffet was clearly marked.
German Ministry of Interior issued an apology over serving pork sausage to the people attending the German Islam Conference in Berlin.
The interior ministry however insisted that the buffet at the event offered a variety of choices, including halal, vegetarian, meat and fish dishes, and that all items “had been clearly marked.”
