Is KFC Halal?
THERE ARE AROUND 1000 KFC RESTAURANTS IN THE UK AND IRELAND, AND AROUND 200 IN THE UK CURRENTLY SERVE HALAL FOOD.
We set ourselves high standards across all our restaurants and with our suppliers. As part of our commitment to maintaining these standards, we work closely with the Halal Food Authority, who accredit and regularly audit our Halal restaurants.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT IN A HALAL RESTAURANT?
In our Halal restaurants we do not handle any pork ingredients, and all the food and drink items served in these restaurants are approved by the Halal Food Authority. This ensures the very best Halal standards but does mean that certain menu items and limited time offers may not be available.
Another key consideration for us was that we were able to ensure that the halal certified chicken would also meet the rigorous animal welfare standards we employ in the UK, and we consulted leading animal welfare groups about this.
There is no compromise to our welfare standards. We continue to insist that our poultry is stunned before slaughter, using a technique called 'stun-to-stun'. We only buy high quality, Grade A, farm-assured chicken from trustworthy suppliers, who are contractually required to meet or exceed all relevant UK and EU legislation and this will not change.
We regularly review our menu across our restaurants to make sure we're responding to customer preferences, which includes assessing the demand for Halal chicken. From 10th February 2025, our KFC Mitcham restaurant on will no longer be serving halal food due to limited demand after a recent trial of serving Halal food. We know that choice is really important and that many of our customers specifically seek out our halal menu items. The local community is well served by several nearby KFC restaurants that serve our chicken in accordance with halal guidelines. These include KFC Colliers Wood and KFC Morden – London Road, which are both less than two miles away.
