The company website describes Ihsan Farms as a halal-certified poultry processing facility in Maryland since 2015, dedicated to zabiha production only. According to the site, each chicken is individually inspected and hand cut one bird at a time, with no stunning used. The website states the chicken is sourced from all-natural, organic farms that feed a vegetable diet and do not use hormones, antibiotics, or other chemicals, and that an all-natural, vegetable-derived compound is used to sanitize and wash the birds instead of chlorine bleach.

The website lists halal certification by the Halal Food Council USA, the Persian Gulf Coordinating Council (GCC), the Shariah Board of New York, and the Shariah Board of Chicago. Two phone numbers appear on file: FSIS lists (410) 548-1728, while the website contact page lists (410) 651-1495. The website invites visitors to leave a message to place an order or request a facility tour. Details beyond these sources, including pricing, cut lists, and whether outside livestock owners can book slaughter dates, are not on file.
