thats what all the fastfood chains claim and nobody knows how it was processed before packin however its always safe to say bismillah... before you consume anything halal.
i do agree that all these products are certified in KSA but still i wonder why they don't stamp/print HALAL logo instead of printing HALAL(guess every1 is familiar with the HALAL logo which u can find in products of south africa and east asian countries)
please don't generalise 5*hotels as they are liberal about serving meat and poultry products. if they are located in the ME or any other islamic country they must abide by the rules/restrictions imposed by the govt.
when it comes to eastern or western 5*hotels i'd never suggest anyone to go for non vegetarian food b'cos we never know whats in it even though they call it 'halal' once i'd spotted XXXXX in my meal, i noticed it bcos 'm in the business and they did the recovery immediately!!! this was happened to me when i was in vienna couple of years ago. safest i believe is seafood and vegetarian-which is very hard to find in the menu!!!!
