Is Butterball halal?
Butterball makes no halal claim on its US website, and in a past statement the company said its domestic products are not halal certified.
The longer answer
We found no halal statement on Butterball's US consumer website (checked October 2026). Its contact page and its Farm to Family FAQ do not mention halal, and the site has no general FAQ page that addresses it.
The clearest company wording we could find is older. A Truth or Fiction fact check dated March 2015 quotes a Butterball statement given to MSNBC: "Our domestic products are not halal certified and thus, do not require any additional packaging or labeling." The same statement said the company had met halal processing requirements for part of its export business and that "only turkeys exports to specific countries are certified halal." The fact check also reports a Butterball spokesperson saying the turkeys sold in the US are not halal certified. We could not find a newer statement from Butterball that confirms or changes this.
On ingredients, Butterball's Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage lists turkey and mechanically separated turkey and says it is "Made with Beef Collagen Casing." No pork is listed on that product, but neither the turkey nor the beef casing carries a halal claim.
What to check before you order
Look for a halal certifier's mark on the specific package; we found none claimed for US retail products. If it matters to you, call Butterball at the number on its contact page and ask about the current position on the product you are buying.
How we decide
We only report what the company or its certifier has said publicly, and we link to it below. We do not test food, and we do not take a brand’s word from a single franchise. If a location tells you something different from this page, trust the location and tell us.
