Yolé, the no added sugar frozen yogurt and ice cream chain, is one of the dessert brands Muslim customers in Singapore ask about most. The register answer is at the top of this page; here is the context around it, because Yolé’s situation has a nuance worth understanding.
What Yolé says
Yolé publishes a dedicated halal certification page on its official website. It states that its factory has received halal certification for its frozen yogurt and soft ice cream, issued by Halal Quality Control, a certification body it describes as accredited and recognised by JAKIM of Malaysia, MUI and BPJPH of Indonesia, and authorities in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, among others. So the brand does make a positive halal claim, and it is a specific one: a factory-level product certification from an overseas body.
What this means for you
A factory certificate for the frozen yogurt and soft serve is not the same thing as a MUIS certificate for a Singapore outlet. MUIS certifies premises, which covers the whole operation at that location, including toppings, sauces, handling and storage. Yolé’s published certification speaks to how its core products are made, and MUIS is not among the recognising bodies the brand lists. Whether an overseas product certificate meets your standard is a personal decision. If MUIS certification specifically is your benchmark, the register is the place to verify, and our guide on how to check halal certification in Singapore explains the difference between product and premises certification.
