FamilyMart branded ready-to-eat food products are now registered halal, as the Japan-based convenience store’s dedicated central kitchen operator QL Kitchen Sdn Bhd, secured the halal certification from the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (JAKIM) 3 days ago.

Yes! FamilyMart Ready-To-Eat Food Receives Halal Certification

In a statement today, the company said this provides added levels of confidence to Muslim customers to purchase ready-to-eat meals such as onigiri, bento, sandwich and bakery items, as well as soft-serve ice cream at the store.

The list will be expanded as FamilyMart continues to develop new food and beverage products for consumers as part of its convenience store concept.

The halal certification coincides with FamilyMart Malaysia’s 100th store opening on Jonker Street, Melaka. This marks the first store to open in the state, and the ninth outside the Klang Valley.
