Chopstix, the UK noodle bar chain, links a Halal certificate from its own Halal page.

Next step Chopstix publishes a Halal Friendly List certificate that rates it 'Fully Halal', valid from 26 March 2026, covering 'All UK branches certified, with no exceptions'. The certificate does not say which meat suppliers or slaughter standard it relies on, so if stunning or the certifier matters to you, ask Chopstix or check the Halal Friendly List entry.

Frequently asked questions

Is Chopstix Halal?

Chopstix shows a Halal Friendly List certificate rating it 'Fully Halal', valid from 26 March 2026, for all UK branches with no exceptions.

Are all Chopstix branches Halal?

The certificate says: 'All UK branches certified, with no exceptions.'

Is Chopstix chicken stunned?

The certificate does not say. Ask Chopstix if stunning matters to you.

Scholarly view

A restaurant-wide certificate that says every branch is fully Halal is a strong claim, and Chopstix publishes it openly. What the certificate does not say is how the meat is slaughtered: whether the animals are stunned, and which suppliers are used.

Many Muslims accept certified stunned meat and others do not, so those details decide the answer for some readers.
