Clear, source-backed guidance to help you make an informed choice.
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.
Alternatives listed here are MUIS halal-certified — always confirm the specific outlet on the HalalSG register.

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.
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.
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.
'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.
