Five Guys, the American burger chain that arrived in Singapore to long queues, is one of the rare brands that answers the halal question itself, in writing. The register answer is at the top of this page; here is the context around it.
What Five Guys says
The FAQ on Five Guys’ own Singapore website states: “We do not offer Halal in this market.” The same FAQ makes clear that bacon is a regular part of the menu, offered on burgers and even as a milkshake mix-in, with extra bacon free on request. So this is not a brand staying silent or making a no-pork claim for you to weigh up. The chain has published its position for Singapore, and the position is that halal is not offered here.
What this means for you
There is little ambiguity to interpret. The brand itself says halal is not offered in Singapore, and pork is served on the premises. There is therefore no certificate to verify against the register, and unlike some chains, no “no pork, no lard” positioning either. Five Guys does operate halal menus in some other markets, so travellers may know a different Five Guys, but the chain treats each market separately and has been explicit about this one. If the situation ever changes, a certified outlet would appear in the register, which this directory tracks automatically.
Certified alternatives
Singapore has no shortage of MUIS-certified burger chains, so the craving is easy to redirect:
- Burger King - certified flame-grilled burgers islandwide.
- McDonald’s - the most widespread certified burger option.
- 4Fingers Crispy Chicken - certified crispy chicken, burgers and fries with attitude.
To check any specific outlet, use the register search with the outlet name or the mall’s postal code.
