- 1. why is there no halal mcdonalds in newcastle? and could you please tell me if and when you plan to make one up here? thanks!
-
There are no Halal McDonald's in the UK and none of the food in the restaurants is certified as Halal. Today, McDonald's UK lacks the necessary infrastructure in its supply chain to guarantee the requirements of Halal. However, it is something the company is currently looking at and you will be happy to hear that McDonald's is trialling Halal chicken at a restaurant in Southall, London. The trial is still on going, and McDonald's is conducting in-depth consumer research around the country to fully understand views. However, it is too early to determine if the trial will expand.

-
McDonald's does not classify any of their Menu items as Halal. However, all the Milkshakes are suitable for vegetarians. This is because McDonald's no longer uses E120 cochineal as a colouring in the Strawberry Milkshakes. The new colouring is a beetroot juice concentrate (E162) which is a natural extract of beetroot.

-
None of the hamburger patties contain any pork. They are made entirely from 100 percent beef and seasoned with a little salt and pepper once cooked. There are burger sandwiches which do contain bacon: the Deluxe Bacon Quarter Pounder, the Chicken Deluxe with Bacon, the Bacon Cheeseburger and the BLT with Cheese. And there are breakfast menu items such as the Bacon and Egg McMuffin, the Big Breakfast, the McBacon Roll, the Pancakes and Sausage, the Sausage and Egg McMuffin, the Sausage, Egg and Cheese Bagel which all contain pork. Please note that all beef patties are cooked on a separate grill to the bacon.
