Frequently asked questions
Is Genki Sushi MUIS halal-certified in Singapore?
Genki Sushi Singapore is not MUIS halal-certified. The chain states its menu uses no pork and no lard, but some sauces contain mirin and it cannot guarantee against cross-contamination. 'No pork, no lard' is self-declared and is not halal certification — verify on MUIS HalalSG.
Is 'no pork, no lard' at Genki Sushi the same as halal?
No. It is a self-declared claim covering only those two ingredients. MUIS halal certification audits the entire kitchen, ingredient list and supply chain. Whether a self-declared establishment is acceptable is a personal decision — the facts above are here to inform it.
Could Genki Sushi become halal-certified later?
Yes — several Singapore chains moved from no-pork/no-lard to full MUIS certification in recent years. Check the MUIS HalalSG register for the latest status.
How can I check if Genki Sushi is halal?
Search for Genki Sushi on the official MUIS HalalSG register at halal.muis.gov.sg, or look for a valid MUIS halal certificate displayed at the outlet. A “no pork, no lard” sign is self-declared and is not the same as MUIS halal certification.

What 'no pork, no lard — but not certified' means
'No pork, no lard' is a self-declaration by the business. It only tells you those two ingredients are not used — it says nothing about alcohol in sauces or desserts, gelatine sources, cross-contamination, or how ingredients are sourced and handled.
MUIS halal certification verifies the whole kitchen, supply chain and processes. A no-pork declaration, however sincere, is not audited by anyone. Many Muslims choose differently here — our role is to tell you clearly which assurance you're getting.
