The 'Muslim-Owned Establishment (MOE)' certificate is an alternative to obtaining the Halal certificate from MUIS for businesses owned by a majority of Muslims. This certification will further reassure and boost the confidence of potential new customers to dine at your establishment/purchase your food products.

The certification process will be in the form of a blended learning approach, combining both 1) 1-Hour Mobile Learning Content (completion required before the online training) and 2) 1-Hour Online Training (with facilitator via video conference).

Kindly read below for further details:

1) 1-hour Mobile Learning Content

Participants will have access to mobile content which will provide knowledge on Halal food requirements, religious rulings and Halal issues in food products and menus. The mobile content should be completed before attending the online training.

2) 1-Hour Online Training

The webinar (conducted via Zoom/Microsoft Teams) aims to provide skills of discerning the Halal issues of food products. Participants will learn to verify the Halal status of food products. The online training also provides the opportunity to instil the appropriate attitude through discussion on case studies provided.

Eligibility requirements

To be eligible for the certification, the F & B establishment 1) MUST be an Ordinary member of SMCCI, 2) MUST be owned by at least 1/3 Muslims, 3) is ACRA registered and 4) has an SFA/NEA license.
