Inghams, the Australian chicken and turkey producer, answers 'Is your chicken Halal?' on its FAQ only indirectly: 'For any Halal enquiries, we suggest that you speak to your Poultry Supplier or Retailer. We also recommend contacting your local Islamic Society.' A foodservice distributor, Galipo Foods, lists several Inghams products, including 5 kg tempura breast nuggets and 1 kg crispy chicken strips, as 'Halal-certified', with an '(H)' in the product name, but names no certifier.

Next step Inghams' own FAQ makes no Halal claim: it tells you to ask your poultry supplier or retailer, or your local Islamic society. A foodservice distributor sells several Inghams lines, such as tempura breast nuggets and crispy chicken strips, as Halal-certified. Check your pack for a certifier's mark, or ask the seller which certificate covers it. How to verify

How to verify

  1. Look on the pack for a Halal certifier's mark.
  2. Inghams itself refers Halal questions to your poultry supplier or retailer.
  3. Foodservice lines sold as Halal-certified carry '(H)' in the distributor's product name; ask for the certificate.
  4. Retail packs without a mark: treat as not verified.

Quick checks

  • Inghams makes no public Halal claim.
  • Some foodservice lines sold as Halal-certified.

Why this ruling

Inghams is an Australian chicken and turkey producer, sold in supermarkets and to restaurants and caterers.

What Inghams says

Asked "Is your chicken Halal?", Inghams answers: "For any Halal enquiries, we suggest that you speak to your Poultry Supplier or Retailer. We also recommend contacting your local Islamic Society."[1] It makes no Halal claim of its own. The front of an Inghams Airmazing chicken tenders box photographed in 2022 shows no Halal mark.[4]

Foodservice lines sold as Halal

Some Inghams products are sold as Halal-certified to caterers. Galipo Foods, a foodservice distributor, lists Inghams 5 kg tempura breast nuggets as "Halal-certified"[2] and 1 kg crispy chicken strips as "Halal-certified, making them suitable for customers seeking compliant poultry options",[3] both marked "(H)" in the product name. Neither listing names the certifier, so ask the seller for the certificate.

What to do

Look for a Halal certifier's mark on the pack; without one, the chicken is not verified. For an Australian brand that publishes its certifier and product list, see Steggles; for chicken in general, see Chicken.

Where you'll find it

  • Fresh and frozen chicken in Australian supermarkets
  • Frozen nuggets, tenders and strips for foodservice

Frequently asked questions

Is Inghams chicken Halal?
Inghams does not say. Its FAQ suggests asking your poultry supplier or retailer, or your local Islamic society. A foodservice distributor sells some Inghams lines as Halal-certified, so check the pack or ask the seller for the certificate.
Are Inghams chicken nuggets Halal?
Some foodservice packs are sold as Halal-certified: Galipo Foods lists Inghams 5 kg tempura breast nuggets as Halal-certified. It names no certifier, so ask for the certificate, and check retail packs for a Halal mark.

Scholarly view

A producer that makes no Halal claim of its own leaves the question to the product: a certified line carries a certifier's mark or comes with a certificate from the seller. A distributor's 'Halal-certified' label is a useful lead, but it names no certifier, so ask for the certificate behind it.
