Is Tyson Foods (TSN) stock Halal?
Tyson Foods, Inc. (TSN) is not Shariah compliant in the September 2026 AAOIFI screening: it fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing debt screens. Tabadulat re-screens TSN monthly, and a stock can return to compliance when new financial reports change its ratios.
Tyson Foods is a prominent multinational corporation in the consumer goods sector, specifically within the agriculture and food processing industry. As one of the world's largest processors and marketers of chicken, beef, and pork, it plays a significant role in the global meat supply chain. The company's product portfolio extends beyond fresh meat, including prepared foods, snacks, and protein-based products under numerous brand names, contributing to its widespread consumer reach. Before any of that matters to a Muslim investor, one question comes first: is Tyson Foods stock Halal?
Is Tyson Foods Shariah compliant?
Consumer staples companies like Tyson Foods face the screening question at the shelf, not the balance sheet: does any revenue come from alcohol, tobacco or other impermissible lines? AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 tolerates such income only below 5% of revenue, with the financial ratios checked behind it.
Does Tyson Foods pass the business activity test?
The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: Tyson Foods currently fails the non-permissible income and interest-bearing debt screens, so the overall verdict is not compliant regardless of the business itself. The watch item is the product mix: any alcohol, tobacco or similar lines count against the 5% ceiling.
Is Tyson Foods' income Halal?
No. Tyson Foods' income from impermissible sources currently exceeds AAOIFI's 5% revenue ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this screen regardless of the others. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when new financial statements arrive.
Does Tyson Foods meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?
Not in full. Interest bearing debt currently exceeds the 30% cap, while the other ratio stays within it. One breach is enough to fail the screening; the ratios are reassessed monthly under our Shariah Supervisory Board.
