About Refrigerated halal ground beef
The chilled halal range, as opposed to the frozen one: ground beef, boneless chicken breast and thigh, and bone-in lamb leg. These are everyday menu items rather than specialities, and they exist as a separate line for a supply-chain reason rather than a culinary one. A kitchen that needs halal certification cannot swap in the conventional equivalent whatever the price does, so this line is bought on availability first and price second.
Buying notes
All of it is quoted per pound and shipped in bulk cases built to an average weight. Chilled halal items sit above their conventional counterparts on the same book, and that difference is the certification and the separate handling it requires, not a difference in the cut or the trim.
