Costa Coffee, a British coffee chain, is well known for its European-influenced passion and high standards, offering food and beverage options suitable to almost all diets. Costa is currently focused on sustainability by taking steps to reduce its environmental footprint; in addition, their menu offerings promote healthy living through waste minimisation initiatives and waste reduction measures.

Costa may use some ingredients or products certified as halal, however without official certification it would be up to Muslim customers to exercise their own discretion when selecting where they dine. It would be wise for those adhering to strict dietary restrictions to patronize establishments with officially certified halal certification.

As of March 2022, Costa Coffee had not received formal halal certification from JAKIM (the Malaysian authority responsible for Islamic development). However, JAKIM is recognized internationally, so Costa’s products may be sold in many countries with large Muslim populations.

Costa Coffee in Malaysia mes Although not officially certified halal, Costa has joined forces with Too Good To Go – an app dedicated to food waste fighting – which will see at least 10% of all cold beverages purchased by Costa across all stores being donated directly to Too Good To Go charity.

Costa is working to reduce food waste at its source by partnering with farmers and suppliers that offer collection services tailored specifically for surplus produce destined for landfill. Through this initiative, surplus produce will instead go directly to those in need rather than ending up in the bin.
