Costco

Halal summary

This restaurant has been authorized Halal by an Islamic organization. Select Costco stores offer halal products, including the ever-expanding zabihah halal Saffron Road brand. Some Saffron Road offerings at this location may include World Cuisine Entrees, Chicken Nuggets, Hors Doeuvres & Desserts, Artisan Broths, Crunchy Chickpea Snacks, and Simmer Sauces. Many are gluten free, some are Non-GMO Project Verified and all are certified Halal by IFANCA. If you want to find a specific product, visit the Saffron Road store locator at http://www.saffronroadfood.com/store-locator. Select Costco stores also sell packaged halal meats, including Coleman Organic Halal Chicken, Australian halal lamb and halal goat. The lamb is supplied by Australian Lamb Company, a halal certified supplier. The lamb arrives prepackaged in the Kirkland Signature vacuum sealed packs which have the Australian Halal Stamp. As long as it is sold in this packaging the product is guaranteed top quality and certified halal by the AQIS. However, with some cuts of meat this seal is broken and the meat is cut and repackaged in the Costco Warehouse. When this happens the product looses its certification because other non halal meats, including pork, are processed using the same knives and machines in the Costco facility.
