KFC Now Serving Halal Chicken, Removing Pork From Menus In Ontario<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Kentucky Fried Chicken\u00a0restaurants in Ontario are all now “Muslim-friendly”, with halal chicken and no pork on their menus, according to a new report from True North<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Halal refers to what is permissible or lawful in traditional Islamic law, particularly regarding food and drink. It dictates that foods must be prepared and processed according to specific guidelines, such as the humane slaughter of animals and the prohibition of certain substances like alcohol and pork.<\/p>\n

Nearly all chains in Ontario have implemented the changes, taking bacon off their menus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a May letter to Muslim community leaders, KFC wrote it has\u00a0\u201censured all chicken products are Halal Certified including but not limited to chicken.”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative is a testament to our commitment to providing diverse and inclusive menu options for all our customers,\u201d the letter continued, promising the changes would take place by the end of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything in the store is halal,” True North confirmed after calling multiple stores in Ontario.<\/p>\n

KFC partners with halal suppliers like Maple Lodge Farms, owner of Zabiha Halal, Canada\u2019s top halal food brand. Zabiha Halal ensures each bird is alive before slaughter, using automated blades to cut specific channels while a Muslim recites the blessing:\u00a0\u201cIn the name of Allah, Allah is the greatest!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zabiha Halal’s website says:\u00a0\u201cWe employ more than 25 Muslim blessers to ensure that the chickens are properly blessed on the slaughtering line.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur halal slaughter is a continuous process. The Muslim blessers recite Tasmiah at the time each bird comes under the rotary blade. We understand that it is not possible for a person to continuously recite Tasmiah, over long periods, at the same rate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo keep the speed consistent, the blessers at the slaughter station are rotated with other blessers to prevent fatigue. This rotation continues for the duration of the slaughter process.\u201d<\/p>\n

KFC in Canada is requiring all of their Ontario stores to serve Halal chicken exclusively.<\/p>\n

They are also discontinuing pork products.<\/p>\n

Truly insane times.<\/p>\n
