Is Subway Halal?

The short answer

Subway's own position is clear. It has no halal-certified restaurants in the United States, no halal meat, no separate halal preparation area, and no plans to change this. Most US stores also serve pork. So the default answer is that Subway is not halal, with rare exceptions at individual stores.

What does Subway say about halal?

Subway says it does not require its suppliers to make certified halal food. It has no halal-certified US restaurants, and it does not describe any of its meats as halal. Its restaurants have no separate halal meat and no separate area for halal preparation.

Are there any halal Subway restaurants in the US?

In the past, a few independently owned Subway restaurants in areas with large Muslim communities offered halal meat. These were decisions by individual owners, not a company program, and they are rare exceptions. If a store says it is halal, confirm its certification directly.

Yes, in some. In the UK, Ireland, Malaysia and Singapore, selected Subway locations serve fully halal menus with certified meat. This does not apply to the United States.
