Public Advisory: Halal Update

At CDO Foodsphere, we understand how important halal certification is to the Muslim community, and we deeply respect the beliefs of our Muslim Filipino brothers and sisters. We recently became aware of concerns regarding the halal status of some of our products and have taken immediate action.

With utmost respect, we are voluntarily advising our Muslim consumers to temporarily refrain from consuming CDO Chicken Franks, Holiday Chicken Hotdog, CDO Ulam Burger, CDO Crispy Chicken Burger, and CDO Chicken Flakes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that we are working diligently to address this matter.

We are conducting a thorough investigation with our halal certifying body, the Ulama Conference of the Philippines (UCOP), together with the Alliance for Halal Integrity in the Philippines (AHIP) to review our products, ingredients and production processes. We are fully committed to taking the necessary steps to ensure halal assurance that is compliant with Shari’ah or Islamic Law.

We recognize the importance of this matter to our Muslim consumers, and we will do everything we can to resolve it as quickly and transparently as possible. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this matter.
