Questions
Is Panda Express zabiha?
Muzzmi has not found any Panda Express on the roster of a zabiha certifier (HMS, HFSAA, HMA or HMC). Even where the chain says its chicken is halal, that does not say whether it was hand slaughtered. Halal vs zabiha.
A Panda Express near me says it is halal. Can I trust it?
