KFC has enraged some Canadians after quietly switching to Halal chicken and removing pork from its menu to abide by Muslim dietary restrictions in Ontario.
The American company sent a memo to its Ontario franchises in May informing them of the initiative, which they called 'a testament to our commitment to provide diverse and inclusive menu options.'
The memo outlined that the Ontario restaurants - except those in Thunder Bay and Ottawa - must ensure all chicken products are Halal Certified and that pork products be discontinued.
Moreover, KFC said it trained restaurant staff on 'Halal operational Procedures.'
Ontario has more than half of Canada's entire Muslim population - about 4.9 percent of the province's population are Muslims, with half a million living in the greater Toronto area alone.
Canada's CEO Sabir Sami, born in Pakistan, is one of the Muslim migrants living in the city.
KFC Canada's decision, however, has sparked many angry comments on social media, with many sharing the #boycottKFC hashtag.
One X user said: 'Only 5% of Canadians are Muslim. But nearly 100% of KFC restaurants in Canada will soon be serving Halal.
'This is Trudeau's Canada. Where the loud minority dictates the policies.'
KFC says it has partnered with suppliers such as Maple Lodge Farms, which owns Zabiha Halal - billed as 'Canada’s #1 Halal food brand.'
Zabiha Halal's website says the company ensures each bird is alive before being slaughtered with an automated blade, as reported by TNC News.
Moreover, all the meat is blessed by 25 'Muslim blessers.'
'The Muslim blessers recite Tasmiah at the time each bird comes under the rotary blade,' Zabiha Halal's website says.

I’m so sick and tired of mooselimb miscreants and their evil cult masquerading as a religion.
So they’ll kowtow to Muslims but ban bacon for everyone else?
It’s marketing.
They are bowing to economic necessity under the circumstances.
I never eat KFC it’s not the same as it was and when it was it was too greasy
KFC is just another branch of Yum Brands.
According to a halal site:
“his process involves gently laying the animal on the ground and holding it tight, covering the animal’s eyes in a way they don’t see a blade or knife, ... “
I’d boycott KFC over this. Unfortunately, I don’t eat there anyway.
Yes, I hate this obsequious behavior of major corporations toward Islam.
I just can’t get over how these migrants flee the hellholes they came from, only to bring the hellhole with them.
It’s really all about conquest of the new world.
Will KFC’s big idea end up as a big loss ?
I guess in future, they'll have both Kosher and Halal certification.
Justin Dildo may very well be the anti-Christ.
Dr. Peter Hammond did a study on this sort of thing. The tipping point occurs once Muslims reach about 5% of the population. That’s when they start making threats and demands.
Canada is roughly 5% Muslim.

No Canadian Bacon in Canada?
Will Halal chicken cost more ?
“...No Canadian Bacon in Canada?”
So-called “Canadian Bacon” is neither Canadian, nor is it “bacon”. Up here, we call it “breakfast ham”. REAL “Canadian Bacon” is back bacon (aka peameal bacon).
I guess in future, they’ll have both Kosher and Halal certification.
and they fight while they eat ?
In Florida, there were lots of Indian restaurants. Some of them boasted “Halal” meats. I refused to eat at those.
I asked an Indian Friend (who was a Christian) why Hindus would boast Halal meats, especially in light of the Muslims’ hatred for Hindus.
My friend replied that the concession was made for people from Bangladesh, who shared nearly all its cuisine and customs with India, except that they were muslims.
He did, however, steer me to a tiny restaurant in Coral Springs that was owned by a member of his church. It was a little hole in the wall, but the food was great.
And what was even nicer was that it WASN’T halal.
