Is Tuna Halal?

Edited By Staff Writer, Halal Incorp

Yes, tuna is typically deemed as Halal in the Islamic faith. It is a type of fish with scales & lives in sea water, it comes under the class of seafood that’s permissible to eat for the Muslim community.

As stated by most Islamic theologians & religious schools of thought, sea creatures such as fish do not need to be slaughtered in the same manner land animals need to be slaughtered.

This makes tuna even if its fresh, canned, or frozen a good choice for those aligning to Halal diets.

Moreover, it’s a good idea to be thoughtful of how tuna is processed. By this we mean for example, if the fish is canned in alcohol-based flavourings or mixed with non-Halal elements, that could make it non-permissible for Muslims consumers.

As well as this, if the tuna is presented in a dish that also has Haram (forbidden) items such as pork or non-Halal gelatin, that would be a major cause for concern.

Some Muslim consumers may also like to search for Halal certification just for peace of mind, especially when buying packaged items. However in its pure form, tuna is standard & a Halal-friendly choice to consume.
