Each a Cup is a homegrown bubble tea chain, started in Singapore in 1999 after its founder brought the Taiwanese bubble tea concept here, and it now has outlets across the heartlands. Its halal status is a perennial question in local Muslim foodie circles. The register answer is at the top of this page; here is the context around it.
What Each a Cup says
Each a Cup’s official website tells its brand story and lists its milk teas, fruit teas and smoothies, but it does not mention halal certification, MUIS, or any ingredient policy. Claims about the chain’s status have circulated in community groups over the years, some pointing to certificates held by overseas stores or suppliers, but the chain has not published a halal certification or position for its Singapore outlets on its official channels. As with any bubble tea brand, the details that matter sit in the toppings and mixes: pearls, jellies, puddings, creamers and flavourings, all of which can change supplier without notice. Questions about specific drinks are best directed to the chain itself.
What this means for you
Without a certificate there is nothing to verify against the register, so drinking Each a Cup becomes a personal judgement about ingredients rather than a verifiable certification status. If certification is your standard, treat Each a Cup as unverified rather than as either halal or non-halal, and re-check the register from time to time - chains do enter the register when they certify premises.
