Is Caffè Nero Halal in the UK? | Halal Check Online

Q: Is Caffè Nero Halal in the UK?

Hot drinks at Caffè Nero are generally fine. We have not seen a statement from Caffè Nero that its UK menu is halal, so treat the meat as not halal unless your branch shows a certificate. Choose vegetarian or fish sandwiches, and check cakes for gelatine.

Also asked as: “Is Caffè Nero chicken halal?” · “Can Muslims eat at Caffè Nero?”

What to check

Syrups: see are coffee syrups halal?
Cakes and desserts with gelatine.

How to check a branch

Check the chain's own website or allergen guide, look for a halal certificate on display and its date, and ask staff which items are halal and how they are cooked. Franchise branches can differ from each other.

What we found about Caffè Nero

We found no halal statement from Caffè Nero. A halal guide says it holds no halal certification in the UK and that the menu has included bacon items, such as a BLT panini. The same guide notes that emulsifier E471 and gelatine can be pork-derived and that the chain does not state their source.

Drinks are the simplest choice, and vegan items avoid meat, but check flavoured syrups and cakes.
