Yes, in 2024, McDonald's may be Halal-certified depending on the specific location and country. In the case of McDonald's South Africa, it is Halal certified as of June 14, 2024. Claims suggesting the withdrawal of Halal certification in South Africa are false.
Here's a breakdown for clarity:
- Varying Certifications: McDonald's operates in numerous countries, and Halal certification isn't universally applied across all restaurants. It's typically determined by local demand and religious guidelines.
- South Africa: As of June 2024, McDonald's South Africa is Halal certified by the Muslim Judicial Council Halaal Trust (MJC).
- Check Local Sources: To confirm Halal status in a specific McDonald's location, especially outside of South Africa, always verify with the restaurant directly or check with local Halal certification bodies.
In summary, while McDonald's South Africa is confirmed to be Halal certified as of mid-June 2024, the Halal status of McDonald's in other regions must be verified on a case-by-case basis.
