'No Pork, No Lard' Claims
 
1. ‘No Pork, No Lard’ - Does this claim mean that the food is Halal?

Food claims such as 'No Pork, No Lard' do not necessarily imply that the food is truly Halal. Halal food must not contain and/or come into direct contact with non-Halal items. Examples of these include alcohol, pork and meat deriving from sheep which are not slaughtered in accordance with the Islamic Law.

As Halal food goes beyond 'No Pork, No Lard', Muis advises Muslim consumers to exercise caution and discretion when patronising eating establishments which display/make such claims.




2. Is it against the law to display ‘No Pork, No Lard’ signage?
Display of such signage is not an offence in Singapore. However, 'No Pork, No Lard' claims can be misleading and should not be treated as an alternative to Halal.
