KFC's switch to halal chicken and ban bacon 'to be more inclusive' after Canadian province saw more than 650,000 migrants arrive in five years

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.

Unless they plan on making their money only from muslim business, this will cause them to join the *go woke, go broke* crowd.

I never saw what was so great about them anyways. I remember my parents decided to try a bucket for dinner once as a treat. There was barely enough to go around, and the pieces were small and mostly batter. I was not impressed with the taste or quality either.

So they’ll kowtow to Muslims but ban bacon for everyone else?

Looks like it.

Make everyone defer to islamists while they run roughshod over us, eventually slaughtering us for not converting.

If their customers only eat that stuff…and a gentile couldn’t tell the difference, who cares?

The great thing is, if muslims are that in love with fried chicken, they can start their own halal fast food joints that don’t serve pork products.

Caving to muslim demands or preferences only emboldens them to make more demands and become more aggressive in them. It
s blood in the water to them.

The appropriate response would have been, “Fine, start your own restaurant.”

According to Healthline.

In some cases, kosher-certified meat may be accepted as halal due to the similarities in slaughtering practices.
