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.

demographics is destiny....
sexual relationships were built into our biology for one reason...to breed...now its just sex, and cheap sex at that....
Sixty bucks a bucket or some nonsense?
I am of the opinion that all food that are prepared according to a specific religion should be labeled as such. Let the customer choose. For example, I wont buy Halal foods or eat at halal restaurants.
“Removing menu choices is diverse and inclusive, Got it”

Then why ban pork country-wide? Just ban it at those crowded with Muslim Hellhole KFCs.
Did the head of KFC-Ontario get his children back yet?
I like halal pork.
Ban BACON?????
Boycott.
The fewer options, the more diverse the menu is... I guess!
Regards,
They do now in Canada and most of the Detroit area.
It’s spreading slow but sure
The chickens head must be cut off with a Jambiya.
Breezewood PA had “Kentucky Beef and Ham” in the 1970’s...maybe a good deal later....it was a regular KFC (complete with Col. Sanders) except they had roast beef and ham sandwiches also. I don’t know of any other KFC that had that.
I went through Breezewood maybe in the early 2000’s and it had been switched to a regular KFC.
Why are our families so small? A recent video from the rescued hostage Noa Argamani pointed out that she was an only child. The fallen hero of that rescue had only two children. Yet one of the vile Hamas leaders had recently lost three adult offspring in the military out of a total of 13. What is going on?
Post 57 for your kind consideration.
5%.......
Preferably, you want to keep the Muslim % of your country under 1%.
Some people never had the opportunity to have kids, or were unable to have kids. I'm sure they were wanted.
