KFC Canada has announced that it will exclusively serve Halal chicken and discontinue pork products in its Ontario stores, sparking significant controversy and calls for a boycott from some customers.

Critics argue that this decision imposes on non-Muslim customers and represents cultural dominance, suggesting that it prioritizes the dietary preferences of one group over others. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the implications of Halal slaughter practices, with opponents citing issues of animal cruelty. There is also a contentious debate over the funding of terrorism through Halal certification.

On the other hand, supporters of the decision view it as a pragmatic business move aimed at catering to the growing Muslim population in Ontario. They argue that businesses frequently adapt their offerings to meet the demands of their market, and this shift is no different.

KFC Canada’s decision continues to evoke strong reactions from both sides; see some of the responses below, including a few from Brigitte Gabriel:
