Is Farmfoods chicken halal?
Frozen and discount food stores.
Is Farmfoods chicken halal?
Some of it. Farmfoods sells halal-labelled products alongside non-halal ones. Farmfoods has told customers that all of its halal food items are marked as halal in its shops and that it also sells products that are not halal. So in Farmfoods, only buy chicken or meat as halal if the pack or shelf label clearly says halal, ideally with a certifier's logo.
Farmfoods has stocked halal frozen chicken from brands such as Seara in some stores. Ranges change often, and stores in areas with large Muslim communities tend to carry more halal lines.
Halal at Farmfoods: what to look for
| Product | Halal? | How to tell |
|---|---|---|
| Frozen chicken marked halal | Halal | "Halal" on the pack, ideally with a certifier's logo |
| Frozen chicken and meat not marked halal | Do not assume it is halal | No halal marking |
| Frozen burgers, kebabs and nuggets | Depends on the brand | Halal logo on the box |
| Sweets, desserts and snacks | Depends on the ingredients | Read the label or scan the barcode |
Check the certifier
UK halal chicken can be certified by different bodies. HMC does not accept stunning, while HFA accepts some forms of stunning. Imported frozen chicken may carry a certifier from the country where it was produced. If this matters to you, look at the logo. See HMC vs HFA.
Farmfoods frozen and discount food
Frozen desserts, sweets and ready meals are where to look most carefully:
- Gelatine in desserts, cheesecakes and sweets. See gelatine.
- Pork in pizzas, pies and sausages: check the meat named in the ingredients.
- Alcohol in desserts, gateaux and Christmas puddings.
- E471 and E120 in cakes, ice cream and pink desserts.
Scan anything with the halal checker.

Shopping halal at Farmfoods
Look for a certifier logo, not just the word "halal"
On meat and ready meals, the clearest sign is the logo of a recognised certifier such as HMC or HFA. Check the logo is on the pack itself, not just on the shelf.
Read the vegetarian label carefully
"Suitable for vegetarians" rules out meat, gelatine and animal rennet, but not alcohol. Check desserts, sauces and flavourings for wine, rum or spirit.
Watch the usual suspects in own-brand food
Gelatine in sweets and yoghurts, E120 (carmine) in pink foods, E471 and other emulsifiers in bread and cakes, and animal rennet in cheese are the ones to check.
Halal meat varies by store
Which stores carry halal meat, and which brands, changes from branch to branch and over time. Check the pack, and ask staff at the counter if you are unsure.
FAQ
Is Farmfoods own-brand food halal?
Some of it. Halal status depends on each product's ingredients, so Farmfoods own-brand food ranges from fine to clearly haram. Scan the barcode or read the ingredients of the exact product.
Does Farmfoods sell halal meat?
Some supermarkets stock halal-certified meat in selected stores, often as branded packs rather than own-brand. Ranges vary by store and change over time, so check for a certifier logo on the pack and ask in your local Farmfoods.
Is "suitable for vegetarians" at Farmfoods halal?
Not always. It rules out meat, gelatine and animal rennet, but alcohol can still be used, for example in desserts and sauces. Check the ingredient list for alcohol and doubtful E-numbers.
