Halal Meat Monitoring Initiative

We understand there has been confusion and debate surrounding Flame & Fusion’s removal from our listings, especially after recent public statements and posts. We wanted to clarify the situation directly and transparently for the community.

The owner explicitly requested to no longer be associated with HMMI, which we respected. However, concerns escalated after the restaurant began publicly marketing itself as “100% hand slaughtered” across social media and advertisements despite sourcing information available to us indicating otherwise.

We also want to make clear that this was not an issue with approved vendors or suppliers. Multiple restaurants on our listings continue sourcing from those same suppliers without these concerns ever arising. This situation became specific to one restaurant and the halal claims being publicly presented to the community.

Another major concern was transparency. The restaurant began sourcing from other vendors without prior communication while continuing to benefit from being publicly associated with our verified listings. When concerns were raised privately, we were still being told these products were hand slaughtered despite the information available to us indicating otherwise. Sudden sourcing changes without transparency, combined with continued hand slaughtered claims, naturally raised serious red flags for us.

HMMI does not exist to attack businesses or create controversy. We also do not profit from approved vendors, supplier relationships, or restaurant partnerships. We are entirely volunteer-run and community-supported through donations. Our purpose is simply to research, document, and provide transparent halal information for Muslims trying to make informed decisions.

We understand many people have lost trust in halal verification and certification organizations over the years. But HMMI was built differently. We are simply building a research-based halal database for the community. People are free to follow whichever standards they personally believe in, but our own standard will continue to remain authentic hand slaughtered zabiha halal, transparency, and honesty above all else.

Flame and Fusion is no longer part of our verified list. These decisions are never easy, but maintaining trust and consistency in what we share with the community has to come first 🤲

We continue to grow our network with over a hundred locations where meat sourcing is verified, along with more than 20 fully verified establishments committed across all standards 📍

🚨UPDATED LIST! Our 100% zabiha halal verified list isn’t just a list… it’s a responsibility 🤲

Along the way, we’ve had to remove some places. Not because we wanted to, but because trust matters. At the same time, Alhamdulillah, we’ve gained new spots that are committed to doing things the right way.

This only works if the community is part of it.

When you walk into a verified restaurant, don’t keep it to yourself. Let them know you chose them because they’re zabiha. That one sentence can be the difference between a business staying committed… or slowly slipping.

Owners pay attention to what people value. If we stay silent, that standard fades. If we speak up, it grows.

This isn’t just about where we eat. It’s about protecting what halal actually means. 🗣️

Regretfully, Checkmate Burgers is no longer HMMI Verified.

This is why it really matters to speak up. When you visit a spot, let them know you chose them because they’re zabiha halal. That reminder sticks, and it shows owners how important it is to stay committed.

Your voice genuinely makes a difference!

Alhamdulillah, our list is still growing and will continue to grow 📈 We may lose a few along the way, but overall we’re moving forward with stronger, more trusted options for the community 🙏

Over the past several months, we’ve engaged with owners, managers, and staff of Zarzoor Restaurant, Bismillah Restaurant, and Al-Aqsa Supermarket & Restaurant in an attempt to receive clarification regarding inquiries from the community.

After contacting their listed suppliers, we found discrepancies: while they may source some products, they are not receiving their full inventory as claimed.

We respect everyone’s preferences. We are not asking for anyone to change what they offer. We simply request that if a business does not exclusively provide hand-slaughtered meat, it should not claim to. Transparency ensures trust.

We kindly ask these establishments to share documentation, such as invoices, confirming their sourcing. This is simply a call for honest labeling and clarity.
