Update 2: The Creek Stone Farms supplies Halal meat for export to the Middle East Shake Shack locations. The US locations do not use halal meat.
__________
Update 1: Apparently Creek Stone Farms supplies Shake Shack with their beef. This farm’s beef is halal. Shake Shake doesn’t know this that’s why they don’t advertise it nor acknowledge it.

Sorry but it’s not halal. I kept hearing about this restaurant and there were rumors that they were halal. I decided to simply ask them, and they responded with a clear and definite answer.
Hi Ibn,
Unfortunately we don’t serve halal or kosher meat in the US. I’m sorry about that, and hope you can visit us to enjoy a sweet treat of frozen custard.

AA. I don’t mean to contradict you, but I have an e-mail from Creekstone Farms stating that their beef is halal, and an e-mail from Shake Shack stating that the beef in their US locations is from Creekstone Farms. (See e-mails below.) If Creekstone Farms is halal, and all US Shacks serve Creekstone Farms, then all US Shacks serve halal meat. Right?

Z,
Thank you for your interest in Creekstone Farms. All Creekstone Farms cattle are processed in a manner that meets the religious qualifications of Halal. However, we only certify it as Halal if it is requested by the customer. I know there are quite a few restaurants in NYC that carry our product and I have listed just a few below for your reference. Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything else. Thank you!

Thank you. Does that apply to all Shake Shacks in DC? How about the locations in other states? Thanks again.

Good Afternoon.
What is the source of the beef you use for burgers? Is it Creekstone Farms in KS?
Thanks,

[…] Amir posted the result to his blog, Ibn Percy, which interestingly enough mentioned Creekstone before I had published my initial article about its entire line of beef being processed Halal (Note: to the best of my knowledge, Amir’s blog post was not published with the understanding that all Creekstone beef was found out to be Halal).
