(Now) KFC Canada is going viral after customers are realizing the popular fried chicken chain has been serving halal meat for the past two months.
#BoycottKFC is trending on social media with screenshots of a statement by KFC Canada dated May 8 detailing plans to introduce inclusive menu options.
As part of the initiative, the American fast food chain collaborated with its KFC Canada Muslim team to include halal menu options as of May 15 across all KFC Canada stores in Ontario, except Thunder Bay and Ottawa.
As part of the initiative, restaurant staff has been trained to accommodate this fairly recent change, and have partnered with halal product suppliers like Maple Lodge Farms, and Zabiha Halal.
