INTRODUCING CERTIFIED HALAL MEATS
Due to the growing popularity of the SUBWAYÂŪ chain, with the diverse multicultural population across the UK and Ireland, we put a programme in place in 2007 to ensure that the population demographic is taken into account when new store openings are considered in order that we meet consumer demand in each location.
All our suppliers comply with EU animal welfare legislation as a minimum and we require suppliers of Halal products to adopt the stunning of animals prior to their slaughter. All Halal meats are certified by the appropriate Halal authorities.
All Halal SUBWAYÂŪ stores have numerous signs stating that they serve Halal food. These are situated on the menu panels, nutritional information and in the front window of the store. Details about the locations of Halal stores can be found on the store finder at www.subway.com
What is Halal?
In Arabic, the word Halal means "permitted" or "lawful" and defines anything that is allowed or lawful according to the Qur'an. It is often used in the context of food - especially meat - to indicate that the food has been prepared in accordance with Muslim principles and techniques.
Do all SUBWAYÂŪ stores serve Halal meats?
No. Only a limited number of SUBWAYÂŪ stores serve Certified Halal meats. For a list of participating stores please contact: halal@subway.co.uk or go to the store finder at www.subway.com
Who certifies the Halal meat?
The Islamic Foundation of Ireland certifies all meats in the Halal stores with the exception of the Chicken Temptation which is certified by the Islamic Committee of Thailand.

How do I know if a SUBWAYÂŪ store serves Halal meats?
We would like to assure you that all the meats at the "Halal" Subway stores are certified Halal meats. Ham and Bacon products have been substituted by "Turkey Ham" and "Turkey Rashers". None of our Halal certified meats at Halal Subway stores contain pork and none of our standard meat products are being sold at Halal Subway stores. To ensure you know which stores serve Halal certified meats the participating stores display the Halal Logo on the shop front window, the menu panel and the sandwich counter. There is also a certificate of the Islamic Foundation of Ireland (I.F.I.) and the Islamic committee of Thailand on display.
Is it the same great taste?
The meats served at Halal SUBWAYÂŪ stores have been produced to meet SUBWAYÂŪ stores high standards in taste, look and quality. The objective was to ensure the taste of the Halal products matched the taste of the SUBWAYÂŪ stores "Gold Standard" meats.
