Steggles, the Australian chicken and turkey brand, answers on its FAQ: 'Yes, Steggles chicken is Halal accredited by the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils Inc. (AFIC).' It adds that its value-added products, chicken that is crumbed, marinated or seasoned, may include ingredients that are not Halal-certified, and links its list.

Next step Steggles says its chicken is Halal-accredited by AFIC, and publishes a list of the accredited products. Fresh cuts, whole birds, most of the frozen crumbed range and the turkey roasts are on it; for any crumbed, marinated or seasoned pack, check the exact name against the list. How to verify

Why this ruling

Steggles is an Australian chicken and turkey brand, sold fresh and frozen in supermarkets. It answers the Halal question on its FAQ and backs it with an itemised list.

AFIC-accredited chicken

Steggles says: "Yes, Steggles chicken is Halal accredited by the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils Inc. (AFIC)."[1] Its October 2025 list covers the everyday cuts, breast fillet, thighs, drumsticks, wings, tenderloins and mince, plus whole chickens and the Family Roast.[2]

The frozen range is mostly on the list

The FAQ adds a caveat: its value-added products, "crumbed, marinated or seasoned", "may include ingredients which may or may not be Halal certified".[1] Steggles lists a long run of them by name: Southern Style Schnitzel and Tenders, Mansize Schnitzel, Premium and Tempura Nuggets, Tempura Dino Snacks, Garlic Breast Kiev, Sweet Chilli Tenders, wing nibbles and more, along with the Chicken Roll smallgoods.[2] The names come with pack sizes, so match both. A crumbed pack that isn't named there isn't covered.

Turkey

The list also covers turkey: Turkey Mince 500g, Turkey Rissoles 400g, Turkey Breast Roast 1kg and 2kg, Turkey Thigh Roast 1kg, festive leg roasts and whole birds.[2]

Where you'll find it

  • Frozen schnitzels, tenders, nuggets and Kievs
  • Turkey mince, rissoles and breast roasts

Scholarly view

A named certifier with a published, itemised list is the clearest answer supermarket chicken gets. The gap the maker itself flags is the value-added range: Halal slaughter settles the meat, but a crumb or marinade can bring in ingredients outside the certificate, which is why the list names each product.
