Coffee Bean has quickly become an international household name since their founding in California, thanks to their mouthwatering coffee and tea beverages as well as extensive menu of baked goods. Their coffeehouse chain has found particular favor in Singapore where Muslim residents enjoy their beverages with confidence – but often raise concerns as to its halal status. We will address this question further by investigating The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf restaurants located there.

MUIS Halal Certification

In Malaysia, the Malaysian Uniform Islamic Standard (MUIS) serves as the official governing body that grants halal certifications to food establishments. Their role is to ensure businesses adhere to halal guidelines regarding ingredients, preparation techniques and cleanliness standards that Muslim consumers require in making informed choices regarding what to consume; furthermore it serves as an endorsement of quality and safety within food services provided.

Although coffee beans themselves are halal, their preparation process makes it hard to determine whether a drink is. Most coffee beans are mixed with milk and cream from animals that were not slaughtered according to Islamic slaughter procedures, while many are also roasted using lard which does not allow halal consumption.

To be considered halal, all ingredients used in coffee must come from animals raised according to Islamic Law and be processed following Islamic guidelines for preparation. This includes milk and cream used in making the beverage as well as any sugar or sweeteners added during roasting process. Furthermore, roasting techniques must adhere to Islamic standards.

Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf in Singapore has received the MUIS Halal Rating of M-HAL5, signifying it has been thoroughly inspected by MUIS and meets all requirements to qualify as a halal eatery. Unfortunately, however, their certificate will only remain valid for a limited time; to ensure you visit only establishments that meet this status. Furthermore, their website provides instructions on how to verify halal status so as to avoid restaurants which haven’t been properly vetted and don’t actually adhere to Islamic practices – saving both time and headache in future visits!
