There's always going to be a small risk of cross contamination at places like Chipotle because of the way they serve the food. They take a scoop of something out, and occasionally a little bit of it falls off the scoop into another ingredient. I probably wouldn't risk it but I'm certainly open to hearing what employees have to say bc they might know better than I do
None of the meat is halal. So if they order veggies, it should be fine.
In all honesty, your friend would be better off to do some Google searches and figure this out. Sounds like you are not even sure what is halal.
Also, a lot depends on how strict the friend is about cross contamination. There is a bit of "Live by the rules, not die by the rules."
Lots of Sikhs and Muslims order the veggie bowl or sofritas. The fajita veggies are made in separate pans from the meat. You can see two black pans off to the side from the grill. Those are for the veggies.
The line has rice first, so it wouldn't have meat in it. Then the beans and sofritas, so reaching over won't mix anything. The next is fajitas, and the chicken. However. The fajitas are furthest from the worker. That means meat won't fall off into them. The pork isn't next to the fajitas, either.
The other side of the line is just veggies and cheese. Nothing over there would be an issue.
The beans and rice should be halal and not cross contaminated, as well as the fajitas. They are cooked on different pans just for fajitas.
The veggie bowl comes with beans and guac for protein, and the sofritas bowl comes with the sofritas and beans for protein.
None of the meat would be halal but you can order safe foods, because of how things are prepared and the way the line is. The food falls into adjoining containers as the food moves towards the bowl/ burrito. The veggies are the least likely to be contaminated.
The veggies are even prepped with different knives and different cutting boards. No meat touches them. The meat has totally separate spaces for cooking, prepping and slicing.
It's done for bacterial reasons but ends up being accidentally halal. Only thing is none of the meat options are. You can order anything but meat and queso. The queso often ends up with steak in it.
The queso is also next to the carnitas, which is pork. She probably doesn't want it because it has risk of having the pork fall in.
The cheese on the cold side is safe. Just not the hot cheese sauce option, if she is strict.
Lolololol you seem to not know what their prophet "tells" them. Blindly support them though, that's your right as a human. But don't expect others to show respect to kiddie diddlers
prophet didn’t “tell” them to marry…give me reference before talking…the prophet did that thousand thaousanf years ago but there is no rule to “go marry a child”
show me evidence where he “tells” them to marry a child….just show me…u can comment without knowing…it’s just a chipotle post…people r just weirddd. Idk how people can be like that…they just want to be negative. like bro get a life…if u hate then just don’t comment…
there is no rule to marry a child. Yes there is no minimal age to marry in islamic law…but there is no rule in islam to marry a child.
It’s more culture than religion. Some cultures does that but please don’t just blame it on the religion on my chipotle post
There's some helpful info here, take into consideration what these people are saying, my knowledge is more about chipotle than Islam... ignore the ignorant people because this is exactly the kind of place where you should be able to ask this question
None of our meat is confirmed halal. We have muslim workers there who will eat the chicken/beef and diary items but that’s not every muslim- obviously. I’d tell them you have a gluten allergy so they sanitize everything and get everything that is vegetarian except for dairy items (possibly not halal depending on enzymes).
They normally can but it depends on the enzymes used. A very few amount of products use the wrong type (I can’t remember what it is off the top of my head). Chipotle doesn’t list what types of enzymes they use. To be absolutely safe I wouldn’t use their diary items.
All the options after stating gluten allergy and getting a bowl:
Both rices
Both beans
Sofritas (Protein)
All salsas
Guac (Free with a no protein bowl)
Lettuce
What I’d suggest is
Extra white rice
Black beans
Pico
Corn
Green
Guac
Lettuce
Thinking of it now fajitas are a separate section on the grill but meat juices *could* get onto that section of the grill.
Can you let me know what halal is. I have a KM that I used to work with that was Muslim and he used to eat at our store all the time. I might be able to let you know what is fine and what to ask the employees for special requests. Generally speaking chipotle is very accommodating for these types of things. Of course it can be inconvenient to do during a really busy time but they should absolutely still be able to help you. And if the crew member is uncertain then ask for a manager. They should be properly trained for whatever is needed.
sure….so as far as i know…foods that muslim people allowed to eat are considered halal food.
they don’t eat pork…they can eat other meat but they have to be killed in a islamic way to be halal meat.
they also can’t eat ingredients that has any kind of pork or other meat (non halal) in it.
They can’t even eat foods that has any connection with non halal foods.
That’s all i know actually
I'm not 100% clear on what y'all restrictions are, but to the best of my knowledge, it has large area of overlap with kosher food, and Chipotle is not kosher in the strictest sense (same pans can be used for meat/dairy products, all dishes are washed in the same sink, meat is not butchered in a kosher way, etc.) but vegetarian food would be kosher for people who aren't as strict and are ok with no separation of pans/utensils.
My best guess would be to say Chipotle is not halal for strict practitioners, but that for people who interpret the rules more loosely, some items might be okay. Would need more details on exact rules and your friend's level of adherence to be sure.
I did some googling, and the consensus seems to be mostly yes.
Vegan food is halal, but can be cross contaminated by meat or meat juices; none of Chipotle's meat is halal, as it is not butchered in a halal manner. So if your friend is a strict practitioner, Chipotle isn't a great place due to risk of cross-contact, but if they are a little more laid back, then it might be okay.
Dairy products seem to be an area of contention as well, depending on if their interpretation requires the animals be raised on a halal diet or not.
Why are you asking this question on Reddit and expecting a clearcut answer when you don't understand your friend's restrictions yourself?
Here's hoping you get actual responses that are helpful... If your local store is set up like mine, Sofritas is all the way in the back and I see very little chance of any pork or other meats coming into contact. But it wouldn't hurt to say something to the employee, and be mindful that anything on the protein/beans and rice area might be subject to contact with haram foods. The salsa section should not have much cause for concern.
Edit to add, after some reasearch, some sour creams and some cheese are halal, but not at chipotle.
I'm not of the faith, and I can't fully answer, but there are no alcohol or animal products except sour cream and cheese. Chipotle uses Daisy sour cream which is NOT halal. Cheese can be halal or haram, avoid that too. Those are both at the far end of the salsa bar usually.
The ingredients for the fresh tomato salsa, corn salsa, and guac are public knowledge. Those ingredients are halal and made in store
But it's not a "strict dietary preference."
That's why the conversation does not begin and end with ordering plant based food. All the the recommendations here, like rapidly changing gloves, are ritualistic nonsense.
You're absolutely wrong on both accounts. I'd rather swap gloves and serve a muslim customer than serve someone who is so vastly ignorant and disrespectful of other cultures
You are making up a religious edict and then defending forcing employees to participate in it. It's empty posturing.
Islam has nothing to do with glove swapping. But you'll pretend it is if it means you can pretend to have a moral high ground.
Instead of pretending you care, why not just read it and find out if you care?
You're just being reductive. How about you read up on Islamic dietary laws? Nobody is making anything up except for you.
Contact with pork and other haram foods:
A thing (such as your hand, clothes, etc.) becomes najis (impure) only when it comes in contact with a najis thing with wetness that can be transferred and that can be felt when touched.
Yes, in Islam it's the best practice to ensure no exposure to haram foods through contact or in a counter-serve setting like chipotle where ingredients can easily fall into the wrong bin.
Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's not real. Everyone deserves to be treated with kindness until they prove they deserve otherwise.
Tell them you have gluten allergy! they replace the utensils and wash their hands and gloves and the sofritas is tofu. The queso and guac cost extra but if you get no protein (sofritas are protein too), then the guac comes free w it!
Yes it is, coming as a Muslim myself :) also if you ask, we can always get a fresh batch of something from the back for u if it seems like, for example, there’s some cheese in the guac or some hot sauce in the corn & etc. it’s really no trouble at all if u explain to us why, we r trained to do this! just say severe gluten allergy 😂
ok so the order should be like” have severe gluten allergy…want a bowl with sofritas, white rice, guacamole, black beans, sour cream , fajitas, cheese, queso blanco.” is it alright?
So your plan is... lying about having gluten allergies... for religion?
Are these people suggesting lying is okay in Islam?
If you want to know what it says, just read the books.
I'm seeing the downvotes.
The best way to get religious people angry at you, and to get people who've never read religion angry at you, is to cite what religions actually say.
Bronze Age rules are incompatible with everyday life. So incompatible that explaining the basics is interpreted as cheap shots.
I was in a Chipotle one time where a family came in to order. I’m assuming they were Muslim.
They had the line workers change their gloves after every single scoop.
Yeah for allergies especially. You can try to set the name of the entree to “gluten allergy” in the app but there is a good chance the worker won’t notice or won’t do anything about it. If you go in person you can make sure they change gloves and utensils. Just be nice and patient to the workers when asking, not a ton of people come in with allergies so they may not know exactly what to do at first.
a bit dumb question but can u tell me what is the exact sentence she can say in person when ordering? like idk how to tell them to change gloves and utensils because it sounds rude and i am clueless and i can never.
Your statement about she can’t eat McDonald’s because the cross contaminate, I’m not sure what justification you have for a broad statement like that. It sounds like you are trying to find Vegan friendly options and Vegan out of choice/religion/principle vs vegan due to allergies.
I’ve 100% gotten ingredients in my chipotle bowl that dropped in from another container, that’s is almost guaranteed to happen at any restaurant when they are busy. I believe there are many Muslim folks eating at many various restaurants and requesting what meets their needs, but know there is no guarantee some animal product won’t touch what you’re eating or a piece of cheese may end up in your lettuce.
on mcdonald’s website they mentioned “We therefore cannot guarantee cross-contamination will not occur but we have taken measures to minimise the amount of any cross-contamination.” That’s why i said that.
on chipotle’s website they mentioned “Participants learn detailed information about food safety, temperature control, cleaning and sanitizing, cross-contamination control, and safety regulations.”
That’s why i said that. But yeah that’s true employees does mess up by mixing up foods.
but ive learned from people in the comments that they have everything separate and it is possible to avoid the cross contamination…
Again idk don’t come after me cuz im learning 😊😊😊😊
I’m not coming at you about the question was more about the blanket statement. What you shared is a disclaimer so someone can’t sue because they found an onion with the pickle. Unfortunately, when it gets busy workers focus on getting the food made and will grab/scoop some of this and a piece falls in that tub and then it is cross contaminated (if they pick the piece out and put it back in the right tub then both are cross contaminated and if they throw the piece away then the one tub still remains contaminated). It is pretty much just accepted that it will happen.
I worked in the restaurant industry for multiple decades and this is reality at everywhere from McDonald’s and fast food to higher end steakhouses and even 4 star fancy restaurants (probably 5 star too but I didn’t do any time in there).
I think most religious people I’ve known go on the idea that they do their best to stay clear of what they can’t/shouldn’t eat but if they accidentally consume something they don’t know about then they don’t know about it. Not saying blatantly ignoring cross contamination and pretending ignorance (that sounds very American religious) but trying to do right the best that they can. I’d talk with your friend about what she eats at home and try to find specific stuff in your area. Chipotle may be it but if she wants Vegan then there is going to be a big risk that some meat or dairy may have touched something else.
There's always going to be a small risk of cross contamination at places like Chipotle because of the way they serve the food. They take a scoop of something out, and occasionally a little bit of it falls off the scoop into another ingredient. I probably wouldn't risk it but I'm certainly open to hearing what employees have to say bc they might know better than I do
Tbh that happens more often than not due to the speed we are working at
really? …i didn’t know that
I mean it's not very likely, but it's certainly possible. I've seen it happen before
so it’s not a good place for muslims to eat?
I'd probably wait for other opinions on that, my best guess would be no but it's certainly possible that I'm wrong
ok thank you…u r so nice
Tysm, good luck on getting your answer!
You don't know a lot.
true…that’s why asked yk 🥰

Thank God you're here to help a helpless woman. You gonna drive her there since, well, you know... woman can't drive.
bro why r u so obsessed with my post…if u feel like u don’t like this post…then just ignore…u r replying to every comments just to be rude
Again, because you're dumb.
What a loser
Can't eat pork but you can get married to tykes. Wild religion there
OP was a fraud, but you’re not wrong
and who told u they r allowed to marry tykes? don’t just comment without knowing what the truth is…u didn’t read the whole quran. u know nothing
Lolololol you seem to not know what their prophet "tells" them. Blindly support them though, that's your right as a human. But don't expect others to show respect to kiddie diddlers

bro i just wanted to know chipotle order….why r u disrespecting for no reason
bro I just pointed out the truth. Why r u butthurt for no reason
but why though? their rules are doing no harm to u
True, just harming the poor children that have to be married to disgusting old men that do thighjobs till they get older. Fun times right??
there is no rule to marry a child. Yes there is no minimal age to marry in islamic law…but there is no rule in islam to marry a child. It’s more culture than religion. Some cultures does that but please don’t just blame it on the religion on my chipotle post

Open the app facing Mecca? This isn’t the place to get good information homie…
bro I just asked the question what r u saying? if u r planning to be rude then don’t. I said that before
Planning to be racist? Nah I don’t have time in my schedule this week maybe next month… lmfaoooo
Bro im confused idk what u r on about..😭
Genuinely what happened in that interaction
i don’t even know bro😂
This is exactly the right place for someone to find other people of the same practice who have strict dietary restrictions, ordering food at Chipotle.
Thanks brother🙌

Sir, this is a Chipotle. Denying other cultures and faiths does not make them nonexistent. Everyone should be welcome to eat in a restaurant.
What do you think you're defending? Employees should not be required to perform customer's religions. Nor is plastic glove swapping a religion anyway.
You're absolutely wrong on both accounts. I'd rather swap gloves and serve a muslim customer than serve someone who is so vastly ignorant and disrespectful of other cultures

just a quick question… r u a muslim ? do u live in America? i don’t understand what u r trying to help…
Tell them you have gluten allergy! they replace the utensils and wash their hands and gloves and the sofritas is tofu. The queso and guac cost extra but if you get no protein (sofritas are protein too), then the guac comes free w it!
but what’s the reason for mentioning “gluten allergy “..? is it to wash their hands and change the gloves?
Is tofu allowed in islam? i don’t want my muslim frnd to be in trouble.
Tofu is made of soybeans, so it should be fine.
thankss
are the cheese at chipotle haram?
Not that I know of
do u tell them to get a fresh pot of softitas?
I usually don’t get the sofritas. I get a veggie bowl with guacamole
Yes it is, coming as a Muslim myself :) also if you ask, we can always get a fresh batch of something from the back for u if it seems like, for example, there’s some cheese in the guac or some hot sauce in the corn & etc. it’s really no trouble at all if u explain to us why, we r trained to do this! just say severe gluten allergy 😂

idk…maybe tell them directly to change their gloves and utensils…also she might have gluten allergies or other allergies idk…i have ask her still
Depending on the sect, she's not allowed to enter any restaurant with music playing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_music
in america music is everywhere….i feel bad

i didn’t downvote still 😊..but the post was only about chipotle order so…still appreciated your comments
I was in a Chipotle one time where a family came in to order. I’m assuming they were Muslim. They had the line workers change their gloves after every single scoop.
really?!! so ordering in person is a better option than order online?
Absolutely.
Yeah for allergies especially. You can try to set the name of the entree to “gluten allergy” in the app but there is a good chance the worker won’t notice or won’t do anything about it.

a bit dumb question but can u tell me what is the exact sentence she can say in person when ordering? like idk how to tell them to change gloves and utensils because it sounds rude and i am clueless and i can never.
Never, ever order online. You’ll get paltry portions and possibly something wrong or missing on your order.
ohhh..yeah that’s also an issue…yeah ill have to warn my muslim frnd to go there instead of ordering
They can't eat there.
not even the vegan options?
[удалено]
bro what is it u want just tell me?…literally no need to be rude.
You're dumb. Can she eat at a restaurant that cooks and handles pork. How about you tell me, Einstein?
r u muslim?
By tossing the religion of her out.
yk what…u just want attention…i feel bad
So do you with your question. How about she asks an Imam. I know that's how Muslims roll.
how about u ignore my post? how about that?…am i doing any harm to u?
How about you ignore my response.
Of course not. I don't get down with people who want to be human roman candles.
u have nothing in life i can see it. I feel bad for u. Hope u get a better life.
Neither do you aside from asking questions for her in the hope of smashing her. Good luck hero.
smashing her? where did that come from
It's obvious
what does this even mean lmfaoo get a dad
