Popeye's is not halal?

I guess this might be old news to some of you but I just found out. Apparently not all Popeye's have hand slaughtered meat as of last year. I've also heard rumours that besides the chicken a lot of their products are not halal either. I have no proof  of that though but I've been told the gravy has pork for instance. I never eat gravy since its made from blood anyway. Sigh...this is depressing. Already we can barely eat out anywhere. Popeye's is where we eat once a month.

  1. Go ahead and eat it. It is 2012, nobody cares about halal.

  4. Really? I hope so.Insha Allah will check it out. I read the reviews though on Zabihah.com and they were all bad. Hoping for a good experience.

  5. I went on the weekend to the Heartland location and they verbally verified that the chicken was now hand slaughtered. The food was all good except my daughter said the burger wasn't (she ordered that herself) and the pies which tasted like they had been cooked in chicken oil were awful and I couldn't even eat them. Service was fine too.

  6. I work in popeyes, the oil the fry everything in isnt lard but has some type of pork in it, the side orders all contain pork, the chicken is not halal the only thing that is halal is the fries and once they put them in the oil that ruins it

  7. Also it amazes me that 80% of popeyes are owned and operated by muslims, isnt that haram to feed other muslims pork without then knowing, or lying saying there is no pork
