Feel like I be overthinking this and will probably get scolded when my manager finds out but I have to ask for a peace of mind. I work at a general restaurant where everything is served. The main ingredients of dishes are listed on the menu. Sometimes customers specifically ask for no pork anyways just in case. But some ask whether if the dish is “halal.” I learned a while ago that halal also includes specific slaughter/prep method. Those are“halal certified” and marketed as such. We do not buy specifically halal certified meat. It’s just chicken or whatever meat from a general grocery store. And in cases of premade brand made materials like Pillsbury's Pie Crust—it has lard but literally no one is looking at their ingredients list that closely, so I don’t think my coworkers—or even the Muslim customers even know.
I mean we try our best to accommodate customers but still, from multiple handlings, it’s not an 100% guarantee that different meat/ingredients has not touched each other. So when customers ask me if something is halal, I can only say that as far as I know it contains no haram ingredients but it is not halal certified. Then refer them to the halal certified restaurant next to us (but I honestly question them ngl). Some customers get confused when I say that so am I doing too much?
Basically, if a dish contains nothing haram, can I just answer that it’s halal?
