Sysco Corp.

DOUBTFUL — SCREEN DOES NOT PASSstock

Is SYY Halal?

Food distribution — distributes halal and non-halal foods.

What You Should Know

Sysco's March 28, 2026 filing shows debt/assets 50.06%, above the examined 33% financial limits. Sysco distributes pork, alcohol and other mixed products, but does not quantify their consolidated revenue share.

⚠️ Concerns

  • Debt screen fails
  • Distributes pork and alcohol
  • Non-halal product revenue not quantified

Not calculated

A properly licensed and reproducible 24- or 36-month issuer market-cap history is not stored, so market-cap methods are not estimated from a current spot price.

Business-activity disclosure

Sysco distributes food and related products to restaurants and institutions. Distribution itself can be permissible, but the consolidated portfolio includes mixed product categories and is not quantified for a universal business-activity screen.

Limitation: The filing reports broad customer and product information but no reproducible prohibited-revenue numerator for alcohol, pork, non-halal meat or other categories.

Purification

Gross interest income and screened distribution revenue are not separately disclosed; no purification percentage is inferred.

Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
  • Debt combines $1,190 million of current maturities and $12,818 million of long-term debt; this agrees with the filing's approximately $14.0 billion carrying value.
  • Cash is $1,900 million and identifiable debt securities are $124 million. Accounts receivable is $5,755 million, net of allowances.
  • Quarterly revenue is $20,519 million. Sysco discloses interest income in adjusted-EBITDA notes but not a gross quarterly amount that can be used consistently as a screening numerator.
  • Sysco distributes a broad mix through foodservice channels, but the filing does not separately quantify alcohol, pork, non-halal meat or other screened product revenue.

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.
