What The Halal?
England: KFC forced to ditch halal-only menus after disappointing sales
Awesome! From Watcher:
First, sharia-compliant banking products turned out to be a "huge flop" in Britain, and now this.
Not only is the all-halal menu unpopular, it generated a huge number of complaints from non-Muslim customers angry that their favorite menu items containing pork products were taken off the menu, and, frankly, for being denied a choice.
(Daily Mail) KFC has been forced to ditch their halal-only menus at some of its stores after disappointing sales.
The fast food chain began trials last year, saying it was responding to huge demand from Britain's growing Muslim population.
But thousands of regular customers complained, including Alan Phillips, who was furious when the Burton-on-Trent branch refused to serve him his favourite Big Daddy chicken burger with bacon and cheese topping.
He was told it was forbidden to keep bacon on the same premises as halal meat and he would have to travel five miles to the nearest non-halal restaurant.
Now KFC has admitted five of its outlets - including Burton - are reverting to standard menus following poor sales.
Another that will drop the trial halal menu is the Colne takeaway in Burnley, Lancashire, where thousands of people joined a Facebook group called No Halal at Colne KFC.
Takeaways at: Accrington, Lancashire, Old Kent Road, London, and Hyde Road, Manchester, as well as Burton and Colne, will revert to full menus on 19 July.
A spokesperson for KFC blamed low demand. He said: 'We introduced our trial in areas where we expected a large demand for halal restaurants, and as with any trial, we continually evaluate results, and adapt as necessary. [...]
All pork products are forbidden by Muslim law, so participating outlets have to take them off the menu.
In March, Mr Phillips, who was refused a Big Daddy Burger in Burton, said the policy was 'extremely unfair' on non-Muslim customers.
He said: 'It was like they were saying I couldn't buy bacon because it might offend people.
'I have many friends who are black, white and Muslim but they wouldn't be forced to eat non-halal meat.
'I have no problem with them selling halal meat, but I would like the choice.'
