Factory and Co (Factory & Co) is a restaurant concept that blends American- style fast casual with a New York-inspired decor, offering items like burgers, salads, bagels, milkshakes, and cheesecakes. Several locations and franchises present halal options across different markets, with some outlets explicitly certifying Halal and highlighting adherence to halal standards, while others emphasize general halal-friendly choices or “Halal au végétarien” style menu sections. If you’re evaluating halal suitability, the key points to check are: certified Halal status for the specific location, the presence of Zabiha slaughter or halal-certified suppliers, and whether the dining experience includes cross-contamination controls in kitchens. What to verify for your needs
- Halal certification: Confirm whether the exact Factory & Co location you plan to visit holds a Halal certification (e.g., HMS/Shariah Board endorsement or local halal authority approval) and whether the certification covers all menu items or only specific sections (halal burgers, halal-certified meat, etc.). Some outlets publicly promote Halal certification, while others may offer halal-friendly options without formal certification.
- Menu alignment: Look for menu items explicitly labeled as halal or suitable for halal diets (e.g., halal-certified beef/burgers, chicken prepared under halal guidelines, vegetarian options that align with halal principles). Note any items that are forbidden or require substitutions.
- Kitchen practices: Inquire about cross-contact prevention for halal and non-halal ingredients (sharing grills, fryers, or preparation surfaces). This detail is often a critical factor for strict halal adherence.
- Availability by location: Halal status and menu offerings can vary by country and city. Checking the specific restaurant page, local reviews, or calling ahead helps ensure accurate information for the exact location.
