#BoycottMcDonalds trending on twitter after company says it will use only halal meat

On Friday, McDonald’s became the latest company to earn the ire of Twitterati after it said it only used Halal meat.

The outrage started after the fast-food company wrote to a user query: “Thank you for taking the time to contact McDonald's India. We truly appreciate this opportunity to respond to your comments. The meat that we use, across our restaurants, is of the highest quality and is sourced from government-approved suppliers who are HACCP certified. All our restaurants have HALAL certificates. You can ask the respective restaurant Managers to show you the certificate for your satisfaction and confirmation.”

The questions over halal meat has been brewing ever since Zomato founder Deepinder Goyal had tweet that ‘food has no religion’ recently, which earned the ire of many Twitter users.
