Is Shake Shack Halal?

Varies by locationEvidence last checked June 28, 2026
The verdictVaries by location

There are no halal-certified Shake Shack locations in the United States — the beef is not zabiha and no US branch is certified, and it serves bacon. Shake Shack does serve fully halal-certified meat at its Middle East locations (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar), but that program does not apply to the US.

The short version

No US Shake Shack is halal-certified. The halal program exists in the Middle East, not the US.

The US picture

Shake Shack's US beef is conventionally sourced and not zabiha, no US location holds halal certification, and bacon is on the menu.

Halal abroad

Shake Shack's Middle East locations — in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar — serve fully halal-certified meat. That is region-specific and does not carry to the US.
