Chick-fil-A Has No Pork — So Why Is It Still Not Halal?

Chick-fil-A is one of the most popular fast food chains in America. It serves no pork. It serves no alcohol. And for those reasons, many Muslim Americans have eaten there believing it to be halal. It is not.

Halal is not simply the absence of pork. Halal, when applied to meat, requires that the animal be slaughtered in a specific way: by a Muslim, with the name of Allah invoked, using a sharp blade that severs the jugular cleanly. This process is called zabiha.

Chick-fil-A sources its chicken from conventional US poultry suppliers. None of those suppliers practice zabiha slaughter. There is no halal certification at any US location.

For halal chicken fast food in the US, look for restaurants that specifically display a halal certification — not just ones that market themselves as “clean” or “natural.”
