You will no longer find pork products at most KFC franchises.
A communication issued to community leaders by the company states that all of their meats will be certified Halal, “a testament to our commitment to providing diverse and inclusive menu options for all our customers,” states the letter.
The Huntsville franchise has confirmed that it has been Halal certified for over a month and that it no longer serves pork products.
KFC has discontinued pork products at all KFC locations, with the exception of establishments co-branded with Taco Bell and franchises in Ottawa and Thunder Bay.
The letter (below) says they have partnered with Halal suppliers to deliver Halal products to the Muslim community.
As part of the initiative, the American fast food chain says it has “collaborated with its KFC Canada Muslim team members on the Halal roll-out.”
Yum! Brands Inc. owns Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, KFC, & The Habit Burger Grill.

” no longer find pork products at most KFC franchises”
Right political ideologies are increasingly appealing to many as select groups are being catered to.
I don’t know anyone who’s against equality for everyone. I do know many who are against their values being overridden to cater to the values of others. No other belief causes more divisiveness than religion.

And I was so looking forward to a nice greasy sausage coated with The Colonel’s Secret ……
Diana Mitchell says
I haven’t bought Halal meat for a long time now because I do think animals should be stunned and not killed alive,
Dr. Don Keedic says
Bill Beatty – That’s what she said.
Ralph Cliffe says
That which adheres to Islamic law, as defined in the Koran.
I thought meat was just meat. If KFC is now Islamic when will the other fast food
outlets be changing? Just a thought. Is anything just Canadian anymore?
Richard Ott says
Will they be selling Kosher meats for other customers?
Bernie Draper says
There is nothing wrong with Hallal meats, they are Kosher, and contrary to some beliefs, the animals or birds are slaughtered acording to the book, painlessly and quickly.
As a Jew I would certainly eat Hallal, just like Kosher .
Becky Wein says
Attn: Bernie Draper. Halal is nothing like Kosher food!
You need to educate yourself immediatelybon what the
differences are.
I don’t like to tell people what to believe. I highly suggest you find out for yourself. It’s just a Google search away. ✌️
Bob Sharpe says
This isn’t what it seems. KFC (in Canada) has been circling the drain for years. Ive been a few times over the years and I am usually only one of 2-3 people in there, if that. This wont have the desired effect IMO (trying to create a new customer base) and they’ll likely be pulling out of the Canadian market entirely within 14 months.
Patricia Rotman says
I know of no Jew that would eat halal if they observe kosher laws
Why are we pandering to Islam !?
This is just another example of creeping sharia and I don’t like it one little bit
I know … let’s all vote liberal and you’ll see SO much more of this nonsense !
