Chapter 5 – Adult Custody and Security Operations

54080.12 Pork/Pork Derivatives

• In agreement with a low fat and low sodium menu plan, CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation institutions shall serve pork-free meals. Therefore, pork or pork derivatives are not included in CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation institution recipes or on CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation standardized menus. CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Camps may be provided food from other sources. As a result, pork may be part of Camp meals. If pork is served in a camp, the camp food services staff shall identify all inmate menu items containing pork and/or pork derivatives for the benefit of those inmates desiring a pork-free diet for religious reasons. Food services staff shall implement and enforce the identification of all food items containing pork, or prepared or seasoned with pork derivatives with a “P” on the menu. If there is uncertainty as to whether an item contains pork, it shall be identified with an asterisk (*). Menus shall be prominently displayed.
