Muslim canteens refer to canteens that sell Muslim food, and also refer to food restaurants that conform to Islam.

Muslim food refers to food containing animal meat and its derivatives, which is produced and managed according to the customs of these ethnic minorities. According to the customs of these ethnic minorities, halal food does not contain self-immolation, blood, pork and other taboos.

Due to the vast territory of China and the great differences in geographical climate and living environment in different regions, the scope and standards of halal food vary from place to place, showing strong regional characteristics. However, it is clear that any food that does not contain meat, animal fat and milk ingredients should not belong to halal food, such as vegetables, fruits, water, salt, etc., nor should it be labeled as "halal" or be produced and operated in the name of halal food.
