Assalam O Alaikum

This is a old histroy for us in USA. The first Muslim owned KFC was opened in Lombart, IL a suburb of Chicago in 2003. Here are some Alerts from our website www.muslimconsumergroup.com regarding Muslim owned KFC outlet:

Event Date Title
05-07-2006 KFC ORIGINAL RECIPE CHICKEN IS MADE WITH COLONEL'S SECRET SEASONING WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN HARAM INGREDIENTS, KFC GREAN BEANS CONTAIN BACON IN SOME STORES
09-09-2005 ISNA FAILS AGAIN IN PROVIDING HALAL FOOD PRODUCTS AT THEIR CONVENTION IN CHICAGO
09-03-2003 MACHINE SLAUGHTERED KFC CHICKEN AT ISNA CONVENTION
08-10-2003 KFC CHICKENS AT LOMBARD, IL STORE ARE NOT HALAL ACCORDING TO MCG’S ZABIHA CRITERIA

Gold Kist a Atlanta based company supplied the machine slaughtered chicken not only in USA but also at KFC stores in Saudi Arabia. 14o chicken are machine slaughtered every minute. A Muslim mechanic br. Mohammed say Bismillah on the machines, he is the employee of Gold Kist company. There was a debate about it in 2003 and even at www.zabihah.com.

But many Muslims avoid it and many Muslims still consumed it and now there are 3-4 Halal KFC in Chicago area.

I met with HMC people in London during a Halal food show in 2005, we both have booths at the show. Br. Khaja was also there, he wrote me for cooperation. But I am very happy to see HMC doing a great job in UK and also in Canada and I agree 100% with their sharia rules.

One thing you guys missing in UK, is there any body know the food coating on the chicken whether it is Halal or not. Did anybody reserach it or not becauce there is a secret formula for the coating as it was reported on our web in 2006. Unless some one know the Halal status of food coating, even if the chicken are not stunned and hand slaughtered, the KFC chicken will be Haram if they use Haram food ingredients in coating.

The second thing missing was chicken feed, in USA some chicken suppliers used the vegetable feed and some use animal protein based feed. But I do not know in UK.
