UK Halal brand status: certification body and last-verified.
A dated directory of Halal certification status for the UK’s most-searched fast-food and grocery brands. Each entry cites the certifying body (HMC, HFA, or WHFC), the last-verified date, and links to the brand’s own public statement.
How this directory works
Each brand carries a status pill: Certified HMC, Certified HFA, Not certified, or Mixed by location. Status is re-verified every six months against the HMC register at halalmc.org and the HFA register at halalfoodauthority.com. Where a brand’s UK branches vary (some Halal, some not), we mark it Mixed and link to the brand’s store finder.
