#BoycottMcDonalds Goes Viral

Aug 23, 2019

The debate between halal and jhatka meat would never end. Halal meat is associated with Islamic dietary laws and meat processed and prepared according to the requirements whereas Jhatka, the meat from an animal is killed instantaneously. Earlier Zomato was all in the buzz for giving the statement food has no religion and, now McDonald’s India is facing backlash on Twitter.

A Twitter user, @hibailyas89 recently asked McDonald's India whether their restaurants in India have a halal certificate.

McDonald’s India replied to the query saying that all their restaurants in India have a halal certificate and that the meat they use is of the highest quality. McDonald's India tweeted, "The meat that we use across our restaurants is of the highest quality and is sourced from government-approved suppliers who are HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) certified." They went on to add, "All our restaurants have HALAL certificates. You can ask the respective restaurant Managers to show you the certificate for your satisfaction and confirmation."

Immediately their reply went viral and people started trolling them for declaring that they only serve halal meat.

After this, the hashtag #BoycottMcDonalds started trending online; with Netizens calling out McDonald’s for serving halal meat in a non-Muslim majority country.One Twitter user @HasdaaPunjab wrote, "Go To Hell, then. We Hindus only have JHATKA MEAT, Will educate others as well to not have any Non Veg Food From your chain. If you not want to end up like ZOMATO, ensure that JHATKA MEAT is served. Else, embrace for Financial Loss."
