Is Five Guys Halal?
Five Guys has no halal certification at any of its global locations, including the UK.
Five Guys UK
No halal certification from HMC, HFA, or MCB. Five Guys UK uses standard beef patties from non-halal certified suppliers. Bacon is available as a topping. All cooking surfaces are shared.
Five Guys prides itself on fresh, never-frozen beef but makes no halal claims about its sourcing.
Five Guys USA
No halal certification. Standard beef and pork sourcing throughout.
Vegetarian / Vegan Options
Five Guys does not currently offer a dedicated plant-based burger. The Veggie Sandwich (grilled vegetables) is available but prepared in the same kitchen as beef and bacon.
Fries
Five Guys fries are cooked in 100% peanut oil — no animal fat. The fries themselves contain no meat-derived ingredients, but are prepared in a non-certified halal environment.
