this is the website
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The website in reference has a video which shows how the chickens are cut.
We observed in the video that the chickens are cut using machines. This slaughtering method is incompatible with Sharῑ’ah.[1]
We have contacted the company and have not yet received a response. Accordingly, we would advise that you refrain from eating Qualiko chicken.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
