What HMS can tell you
Is Burger King HMS certified?
No. HMS does not certify Burger King, and HMS has not inspected the slaughterhouses, processors or distributors that stand behind the meat served at Burger King. HMS cannot confirm that it is Zabiha Halal.
The standard HMS applies
We certify only what we check. For meat that means a permissible animal, slaughtered by hand Zabiha while it is alive, with Bismillah pronounced for each animal, and an unbroken chain of approved suppliers afterwards. Word of mouth, a review or a delivery listing cannot establish it, as shared deep fryers and how to check a restaurant properly set out.
Certification is issued per location and can be limited to particular products, so any certified Burger King location would be shown in the HMS certified directory.
Nothing on this page describes how this business actually operates. It records only what HMS has and has not inspected, and HMS will not comment on a supply chain it has never examined. The directory remains the authoritative record of current HMS certification.
Protect your deen: look for HMS Certified only
When the source is unverified, a Muslim leaves it. The Prophet ﷺ taught:
“Leave that which causes you doubt for that which does not cause you doubt.”
Halal is an act of obedience to Allah, not a guess. Avoid Burger King while its status is unconfirmed, and give your trust and your money to HMS Certified places only. Find an HMS Certified place near you.
