FDP
Fresh Del Monte Produce
Is FDP Halal?
Fresh Del Monte's current quarter passes the known asset-based ratios, but acquisition financing, prepared foods and ingredient/sourcing questions keep the result methodology-dependent.
What You Should Know
Fresh Del Monte's March 27, 2026 Form 10-Q reports USD 3,402.4 million of assets, USD 628.9 million of conservative debt and leases, USD 66.3 million of cash, USD 531.0 million of receivables and USD 1,044.1 million of quarterly net sales. Debt/assets is 18.48%, liquidity/assets is 1.95%, receivables-plus-cash/assets is 17.55% and disclosed interest income is 0.03% of quarterly sales. Debt increased materially to fund the March 2026 acquisition of select Del Monte Foods assets.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Prepared foods and poultry/meat activity require product and sourcing review
- •Ingredient-level halal status and slaughter/sourcing details are not consolidated into a numerator
- •Debt increased materially after the Del Monte Foods acquisition
- •Agricultural labor, water, land, climate, shipping and food-safety impacts require review

Business-activity disclosure
Fresh Del Monte produces and distributes fresh fruit, vegetables, prepared foods, bananas and related services. Food production is generally permissible, while prepared-food ingredients, poultry/meat sourcing, customer mix and financing require qualitative review.
Limitation: The quarterly filing does not provide a complete prohibited-revenue numerator for ingredients, alcohol-containing products, poultry/meat sourcing or other downstream categories.
Purification
Interest income is disclosed, but no scholar-approved purification percentage is inferred; the quarter also includes mixed equity-method and financing items.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Fresh Del Monte's unaudited consolidated Q1 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Debt includes current and long-term debt/finance leases plus current and non-current operating leases as a conservative financing proxy.
- Trade accounts receivable of USD 434.3 million and other accounts receivable of USD 96.7 million total USD 531.0 million; equity-method investments are not counted as interest-bearing securities.
- Quarterly net sales are USD 1,044.1 million; disclosed interest income is USD 0.3 million. The Del Monte Foods acquisition closed March 19, 2026 and materially increased debt.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
