runningman1 Â Â 12 #157 Posted June 23, 2016 I don't believe you, given some of your other output I have read. But ho hum. Â I know the potential franchisees and can 100% tell you that they are exploring the possibility of the food being Halal. I don't know why you find this so hard to understand.

I don't know why you find this so hard to understand.  In any case I regularly eat Halal food so I'm not bothered. It's just that the mere mention of it has seen this thread derailed.

All the restaurants will be using the same suppliers for the meat which will not be Halal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

alchresearch   206 #164 Posted June 23, 2016 KFC manages to do it, maybe McDonald's realises that it needs to get multicultural?  Or maybe it knows they don't have to cater to a minority and the negative feedback when pork is removed from the menu.  The media has been quick to attack Halal KFCs in the past and this forum has had lengthy lively discussion on the subject.  KFC forced to ditch halal-only menus after disappointing sales http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1289601/KFC-forced-ditch-halal-menus-disappointing-sales.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

MikeFrank   10 #167 Posted June 23, 2016 It will be a halal McDonald's franchise according to someone I know, thanks for your support!  Read the bit where it says as a franchisee you own your own business and can set your own long term plan= http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/ukhome/People/Franchising.html/franchising-explained.html Mc Donald's as a company won't supply halal but nothing to stop franchisees using halal meat products ie burgers, chicken etc...  It all gets a bit complicated when various food stuffs are not allowed. Like I said earlier I don't mind as long as customers are advised if its Halal. They can eat it or go elsewhere.  It would worry me that because some of the staff are not well educated and to be blunt racist they may contaminate halal meals with pork. It wouldn't be hard.

geared   268 #168 Posted June 23, 2016 What are the specifics of even stuff like storage though?  Can pork/halal be stored in the same room, or same building? Transported in the same truck?  Can you cook it in the same room, on adjacent cookers, on the same cooker but at other ends?  Are the rules even set in stone or open for interpretation anyway??
