GIS2
Smithfield Foods (WH Group)
Is GIS2 Halal?
Pork processor — world's largest pork company.
What You Should Know
Smithfield Foods (the preserved WH Group alias) is primarily a pork processor and hog producer. Its FY2025 filing reports USD 15,531 million of sales, with packaged meats, fresh pork and hog production as the operating segments. The quantitative screen passes the examined asset ratios, but the core pork activity remains prohibited.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Packaged meats and fresh pork are core segments
- •FY2025 debt/assets 16.45% and receivables-plus-cash/assets 21.04% do not change the business verdict
- •European operations were carved out to WH Group in 2024

Business-activity disclosure
Smithfield's Packaged Meats, Fresh Pork and Hog Production segments are centered on pork processing, pork products and hog production. The filing reports USD 15,531 million of fiscal 2025 sales and describes pork products throughout the operating segments, so the core activity is prohibited under the site's qualitative screen.
Limitation: The filing does not allocate every product, by-product or customer contract to a school-specific Sharia category. That limitation does not change the result because pork is the principal business activity.
Purification
Purification is not calculated because the core business is pork production and processing; an incidental-income estimate cannot make the primary activity permissible.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Smithfield Foods' audited fiscal 2025 consolidated financial statements.
- Debt includes current and long-term debt and finance lease obligations of USD 2,003 million; operating lease obligations are excluded.
- Cash is USD 1,539 million and net accounts receivable is USD 1,023 million; no separately identified interest-bearing securities balance is included.
- Fiscal 2025 consolidated sales were USD 15,531 million. The preserved GIS2 route is an alias for Smithfield Foods; the filing identifies the current issuer as Smithfield Foods after the European operations were carved out to WH Group in 2024.
- No separately quantified interest-income line was identified in the filing; zero is used only as a conservative screening input, not as a claim that all incidental income is Sharia-compliant.
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.
