Leong Guan Holdings says in a bourse filing on Dec 23 that Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS) will not be taking enforcement action against them for the halal labelling lapses in its products.

 

MUIS, also known as the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore, administers the halal certification which ensures that food is compliant according to Islamic law. Leong Guan made its trading debut on the Catalist board on Dec 11.

 

In its Nov 28 offer document, Leong Guan had flagged as one of its risk factors the possibility of having its halal certifications revoked and the operations of its third-party halal-certified manufacturers disrupted. The company&rsquo s subsidiaries, LG Bean Manufacturer (LG Bean) and Leong Guan Food Manufacturer (LGFM) had sold products bearing the halal logo when its certifications had expired and renewal applications were still pending.

 

Leong Guan says it had notified MUIS in November 2025 about the lapses and the enhanced internal monitoring procedures it had adopted to prevent them from occurring again.

 

MUIS wrote back to Leong Guan in December 2025 to say that it will not be taking any enforcement action against them as Leong Guan had voluntarily disclosed the lapses. It noted that no substantive compliance issues were identified and comprehensive remedial measures have been implemented by Leong Guan.

 

MUIS expects Leong Guan to comply with several conditions going forward, such as implementing clear labelling protocols when their halal certification expires and raising staff awareness on halal certification requirements.
