What to check before you order
- Cheese-foam and specialty toppings involve dairy cultures and flavourings that are unverified.
- Self-declared 'no pork, no lard' is not audited — sauces, stocks, flavourings and desserts can still contain alcohol or animal-derived ingredients.
- Ask about specific ingredients (mirin, rum, gelatine, rennet) if you dine here.
- Status can change — a brand may pursue certification later; check MUIS HalalSG for updates.

Frequently asked questions
Is LiHO TEA MUIS halal-certified in Singapore?
LiHO TEA is not MUIS halal-certified in Singapore. The chain has said its outlets use no pork, lard or meat products, but some ingredients come from suppliers that are not halal-certified. Self-declarations are not certification — verify on MUIS HalalSG.
Is 'no pork, no lard' at LiHO TEA 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 LiHO TEA 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 LiHO TEA is halal?
Search for LiHO TEA 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.
