Kfc To Trial With Halal Food

[trt]

in certain shops around the UK, do you think it will affect their trade?

Don't think so. They will have picked locations with a large proportion of Asians.

If the trials are in the areas where the largest number of requests have come from then trade shouldn't drop really.

Looking at the store listed in the link closest to me, I think it will be very popular there.

as long as I can get bacon on my bacon/chicken/cheese banjo I'm happy.

//All non-halal products will be removed from the relevant restaurants. This includes pork products, bacon will not be served in our halal trial stores. The Big Daddy is the only item out of more than forty on our menu that our halal stores will not be serving.//

Don't know what a KFC Banjo is, sorry.

[ummmm]

Same as divebuddy.....I don't touch the stuff.

[Mamyalynne]

Think I ate some once.

How can you prove it is halal food a load of bull *** giving in to the muslims again

I think your link may be an old one. KFC have been Halal for years. In many branches at least

Here is a DM link from 2010.

The question of whether it has affect their trade since 2010, it certain has. They have expanded opening many more stores, and continued to be highly profitable.

"giving in to the Muslims again?"
I'd call it spotting an opening in the market

[Mamyalynne]

If you want your business to thrive and make a profit you respond to a local customer base - the other option is a half empty non profitable outlet which will soon have to close.

I nearly had a KFC once ...but the shop had run out of chicken.. I laughed all the way to the nearest pizza joint.

There will be the inevitable outcry for a week or two then it will all be forgotten. Would not worry me in the least.
Over 90% of all commercially produced chicken meat is Halal anyway, they just do not make a point of saying so. The only difference between Halal and non halal chicken is that a Halal slaughterhouse has a tape loop of prayers playing in the background !
Did you know that ALL New Zealand lamb is Halal? they do not produce anything else. It means it can be sold anywhere in the world yet costs no more to produce. It would be stupid to do anything other.

What would the Colonel say?

Say what you like about the Colonel, never has ketchup down his jacket. Always well turned out.

[ummmm]

Yes, Eddie, I did know that.

We discussed this 18 months ago and I posted this...
// KFC, Subway, Pizza Express have made a COMMERCIAL decision to sell halal products. They believe they will gain more customers than they will lose. They do not dupe the public into eating food they do not want, they advertise the food is halal. If that goes against your latest political bugbear, then go to another shop. //
