Oporto's chicken is halal certified from suppliers. This includes Whole Chickens, Grilled Fillets, Crispy Strips, Spicy Bolas, and Grilled Tenders. However, stores aren't fully halal certified as they can't guarantee zero cross-contamination with non-halal products.
Always check for a halal certificate at your store or ask staff.
Oporto is famous for its Portuguese-style flame-grilled chicken, with locations across Australia serving their signature chilli-basted chicken burgers and wraps. The good news for halal-conscious diners is that Oporto's chicken is halal certified from their suppliers. This covers Whole Chickens, Grilled Chicken Fillets, Crispy Chicken Strips, Spicy Chicken Bolas, and Grilled Tenders.
The not-so-simple part is that individual Oporto restaurants are not technically halal certified at the store level. According to Oporto's official FAQ page, they have procedures in place to ensure separation and correct handling of halal products, but they cannot 100% guarantee that no cross-contamination could occur between halal chicken and non-halal products during cooking. Some menu items also contain bacon, and certain sauces may include alcohol or non-halal additives. The decision of whether these measures are sufficient is ultimately up to each individual customer.
