KFC Update 2015

Halal Food Authority (HFA) certification is widely accepted around the globe and there is no known region where HFA halal certificate is not valid.

HFA is endorsed, supported and recognised by all major halal certification bodies in the world. Some of those organisations in global halal certification industry that have mutual recognition arrangement with HFA are as follows:

Indonesian Council of Ulama (MUI)
Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM)
Secretariat of Dubai Municipality – UAE
Majlis – e- Ugama Islamia Singapura – MUIS – Singapore
Central Islamic Committee of Thailand – Thailand
Islamic Dawah Council of Phillipines (IDCP) – Phillipines

National Independent Halal Trust (NIHT)
Muslim Judicial Council (MJC) – South Africa
FAMBRAS & CIBAL – Brazil
Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand (FIANZ) – New Zealand
Halal Australia

This list is indeed of a few and is certainly not an exhaustive list. HFA works with many other international halal certification organisations that also support and recognise our globally accepted halal standards and procedures.

Our Suppliers

We buy our British chicken from the same poultry suppliers and farms that supply the major UK supermarkets. The rest comes from high-quality suppliers in the EU, Brazil and Thailand.

All the companies we buy chickens from are audited to our welfare standard. New suppliers must pass audits of their welfare standards, quality and food safety systems before they can begin selling to us. When we source from overseas, our minimum starting point is strict compliance with UK and EU welfare requirements, which our suppliers should aim to exceed.

Our technical teams visit all our suppliers regularly to assess compliance with our standard, producing monthly progress reports and action plans tailored to each supplier to drive progress. This process is backed up by regular audits by third party experts.

Traceability

The ability to trace every chicken from farm to restaurant is an important part of our quality assurance system. Our short and simple supply chain makes this straightforward. Our well-established tracking systems gives each bird a unique supplier code and batch number.

In 2011, we were the first fast-food company to gain Red Tractor certification, for our British fresh chicken on the bone. This is a nationally recognised guarantee of welfare standards and provenance, and we work closely with UK farms and suppliers to maintain it.

We source free-range eggs for our breakfast menu and, in September 2012, KFC UK and Ireland received a Good Egg Award from Compassion in World Farming, for our commitment to switching to 100% free-range eggs.
