Hero is one of the few big burger chains in Canada that makes a halal claim on its own site, and it's a chain-wide one.
What the chain says
- On its Hero Quality page, Hero says all its beef and chicken products are halal-certified, and that its cheddar and beef bacon are halal too.
- Its Certified Beef page affirms the beef and chicken are halal compliant.
The caveats
- Pork bacon is on the menu too. The same page offers "beef and pork bacon". That means this is not a halal-only kitchen, and grills may be shared.
- No certifier is named. Hero uses both "halal-certified" and "halal compliant" but doesn't say who certifies.
- Turkey isn't covered. The statement names beef and chicken only.
The location on our list is the 77 Wellesley St E store in Toronto, listed as halal options.
How to verify
Ask your location to show you the halal certificate, order beef bacon by name, and ask whether pork bacon shares the grill. Our full method: the halal verification guide. Statuses change, so confirm with the restaurant before ordering.
