Mc Donalds

Mc Donalds in Southall are going halaal.

My fear is, many muslims will take this for its word. Yes, they may go halaal with their meat. But it still remains a fact that every little detail needs to be taken account of.

e.g lard in the oil, the bun containing haraam ingredients etc

what do you guys think? Would you still eat there?

(I would not)

No to Mcdonalds!

But the thing it been halal, sounds about right my brother-in-law is the manager and area manager of west end Mc Donalds's. And he has been sayig it for years about brng in halal food to Mc Donalds stores, and yeh they will aslo be taking inconsideration seprate oil etc too.

Does anyone have any more news on this?

My wife's a new Muslim who misses McD's quarter pounders dearly!!
Tho Southall would be a bit far to travel for one!

Doesn't quite corralte with wha Sr Rujie said.

Any thoughts?

the main customer services wont know everything as some outIets are run as franchises - onIy once a store goes "haIaI" officiaIIy then the info's feed through to HQ.

My advice is to caII the southaII branch yourseIf and investigate if they are haIaI or are onIy thinking about it. If they say they are then thoroughIy investigate further by getting more info on their suppIiers detaiIs etc.

McDonalds are planning to offer halal products for the first time in Britain.

The firm's UK boss said the fast food giants were "working really hard" towards providing a halal menu for its Muslim customers.

Chief Executive Steve Easterbrook said: "It is a really complicated area. Different religious groups have different interpretations of what halal meat is. We need to ask about animal welfare and preparing halal meat. We want to be entirely comfortable in genuinely offering it."

McDonalds confirmed there was no official launch date but sales doubled when the company introduced a halal menu in Melbourne, Australia.

There is concern from animal rights groups that the method of slaughter under Islamic law is cruel to animals. This is despite the findings of a study at Hanover University which revealed, that animals suffer less pain when slaughtered under Sharia law, compared to conventional Western methods where animals are stunned and shot with a 'captive bolt pistol.'
