McDonald's isn't universally halal because they serve a core menu with shared cooking equipment, risking cross-contamination with non-halal items (like pork), and most locations don't meet strict Islamic dietary requirements, though some specific outlets in Muslim-majority countries or regions do offer certified halal options, requiring customers to check for in-store certificates. The primary reasons for not being halal globally are operational complexity, cost, small demand in certain areas, and shared kitchen practices that prevent full halal certification for the entire chain.

KFC Australia does not have all stores certified Halal, but many locations use Halal-certified chicken from suppliers like Ingham's and Steggles, even if the store itself isn't fully certified, requiring customers to check specific outlets or use resources like Halal Advisor for Halal-certified locations (especially in Sydney) or call ahead to confirm their specific chicken source.
