45 year-old Steve Mitchell of the UK was not pleased when he traveled to a KFC in Derby only to find out that the restaurant did not carry the bacon box meal he wanted because it was not halal, in other words, acceptable for practicing Muslims to eat.
This was an especially unwelcome surprise for Mitchell as he had seen a KFC poster nearby specifically advertising the meal and not mentioning the fact that that particular location only carried halal food. It was only after driving an extra four miles to a separate branch of the restaurant that Mitchell was able to get the meal he desired.

boycott
To bad for them
Kindness first cares.that is KFC.
Hope u can continue your business, will have much smaller customer base.
It’s doubtful Sandee even though they seem to trying too. They are being boycotted presently.
I am a Christian and Jesus died on the cross and freed me from the law I’m under Grace and can eat bugs if I want to.
Bojangles chicken is the best anyway
Never knew KFC sold Bacon..???
If that is the reason they don’t carry Bacon..then yes..blame it on Halal. I never knew they carried Bacon though…
Apparently they have a bacon meal in europe…. ive never seek bacon at KFC stateside though… and i dont think halal has anything to do with it.
For the sMe reason i dont think seafood alergies has anything to do with why americans dont have black squid ink buns at mcdonalds like they do in japan. Its simply a regional thing.
