Is US Foods Holding Corp. USFD stock Halal to invest in?

No, as of September 2026, US Foods Holding Corp. stock (USFD) is not currently classified as a Shariah compliant stock. This verdict follows the screening methodology of AAOIFI (the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions), whose Shariah Standard No. 21 is the leading global benchmark for screening Halal stocks. To qualify as Halal under this standard, a company must keep non-permissible income below 5% of total revenue, keep both interest-bearing investments and interest-bearing debt below 30% of market capitalisation, and have no impermissible preference share structure. US Foods Holding Corp. currently does not meet the threshold for the non-permissible income screen. Because screenings are refreshed monthly as new financial reports are published, a non-compliant stock can regain compliant status if its financial structure changes. You can track the latest status of US Foods Holding Corp. and discover Shariah compliant alternatives among the Halal stocks in the Tabadulat app.

How often is US Foods Holding Corp. USFD reviewed for Shariah compliance?

Tabadulat reviews US Foods Holding Corp. USFD for Shariah compliance every month. Each review applies the AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 methodology, screening the company's business activities, non-permissible income, interest-bearing investments, interest-bearing debt, and preference shares, against the company's latest available financial data. The process operates under the direct supervision of Tabadulat's dedicated Shariah Supervisory Board of Islamic finance scholars. Because compliance depends on financial ratios that move with market capitalisation and reported results, a stock's status can change from one review to the next. Monthly screening ensures the status shown for US Foods Holding Corp. reflects current financial data rather than an outdated assessment, and Tabadulat app users are notified if a holding in their portfolio becomes non-compliant.

Does US Foods Holding Corp. USFD pass the AAOIFI Non Permissible Income criteria?

No, as of September 2026, US Foods Holding Corp. stock (USFD) does not pass the AAOIFI non-permissible income screen. Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, income from impermissible sources (such as interest or Riba, conventional financial services, alcohol, gambling, or tobacco) must remain below 5% of a company's total revenue. US Foods Holding Corp.'s income from non-permissible sources currently exceeds this 5% ceiling, which makes the stock non-compliant on this criterion regardless of how it performs on the other screens. The screen is reassessed monthly, so the status can change when the company releases new financial statements.

Does US Foods Holding Corp. USFD pass the AAOIFI Interest Bearing Investments criteria?

Yes, as of September 2026, US Foods Holding Corp. stock (USFD) passes the AAOIFI interest-bearing investments screen. Under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21, the cash a company places in interest-earning instruments (such as conventional deposits, bonds, treasury bills and money-market funds) must remain below 30% of its market capitalisation. This limit ensures shareholders are not materially profiting from Riba (interest). US Foods Holding Corp.'s interest-bearing investments are currently within the 30% threshold. Because the ratio is measured against market capitalisation, it can move with the share price as well as the balance sheet, which is why Tabadulat rescreens the stock every month.

Does US Foods Holding Corp. USFD pass the AAOIFI Interest Bearing Debt criteria?

Yes, as of September 2026, US Foods Holding Corp. stock (USFD) passes the AAOIFI interest-bearing debt screen. The debt screen caps Riba-based borrowing, meaning conventional bank loans, bonds and similar financing, at 30% of market capitalisation, limiting a shareholder's exposure to interest-based leverage. US Foods Holding Corp. is inside that limit in the latest screening. Because market capitalisation changes daily, a company's debt ratio can drift toward or away from the limit even without new borrowing, which is why this screen is reassessed every month.

What is the dividend purification factor for US Foods Holding Corp. USFD stock?

US Foods Holding Corp. (USFD) is currently classified as not Shariah compliant, so no dividend purification factor applies, because purification factors are calculated only for stocks that pass the AAOIFI screens. Purification (Tazkiyah) is the practice of donating to charity the small portion of dividend income that stems from incidental non-permissible sources, such as interest earned on a compliant company's cash deposits. For non-compliant stocks the issue is not purification but eligibility: under AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 the stock does not currently qualify as a Halal investment. If US Foods Holding Corp. returns to compliance in a future monthly screening, its purification factor will be published alongside its updated status in the Tabadulat app.

Does US Foods Holding Corp. USFD pass the AAOIFI Preference Share screen?

Yes, as of September 2026, US Foods Holding Corp. stock (USFD) passes the AAOIFI preference share screen. AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21 prohibits investing in preference shares because they grant holders guaranteed or priority rights to dividends and capital ahead of ordinary shareholders, a structure that conflicts with the Shariah principle that investors should share profit and loss in proportion to their ownership. US Foods Holding Corp. has no impermissible preference share structure affecting its ordinary shares, so the stock is compliant on this criterion. Like all AAOIFI screens, this is verified in each monthly review.

US Foods is a leading foodservice distributor in the United States. It plays a crucial role in the supply chain by offering a wide assortment of over 400,000 fresh, frozen, and dry food items, alongside non-food products such as kitchen supplies and cleaning tools. The company's services are tailored to meet the needs of a diverse client base, including restaurants, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and hospitality sectors. For Muslim investors, though, the most pressing question is simpler: is US Foods a Halal investment?

Is US Foods Shariah compliant?

Food, household goods and everyday retail are permissible activities, with one watch item: incidental revenue from alcohol, tobacco or conventional financial services must stay below the 5% ceiling of AAOIFI Shariah Standard No. 21. For US Foods, that is usually the screen worth reading first.

Does US Foods pass the business activity test?

The activity screen is only part of the picture this month: US Foods currently fails the non-permissible income screen, 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 US Foods' income Halal?

No. US 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 US Foods meet AAOIFI's debt and investment ratio requirements?

Yes. Both caps hold this month: interest bearing investments and interest bearing debt each stay below 30% of market capitalisation. Because the caps move with the share price, our Shariah Supervisory Board has USFD re-screened every month, and the result above always shows the latest verdict.
