Mr. Bean S’pore: Halal-Certified Now!

by Bob Lubin July 8, 2022

Mr. Bean, with all of its branches, is now halal certified. On June 9, this feat was officially accomplished. As a result, Mr. Bean has made it to the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore’s (MUIS) list of eateries. The list is now available for everyone to see, and you can easily have a look at it too by visiting MUIS’s official website.

With its delicious taste and health benefits, it’s no wonder that Mr. Bean is one of Singapore’s favourite food brands!

Mr. Bean is a home-grown brand that started out as a humble soy milk stall in a local hawker centre. Today, it has grown to become one of the most popular foods and beverage brands in Singapore, with over 60 outlets island-wide.

Mr. Bean’s products are made from high-quality ingredients and are free from preservatives and trans fats. Their signature item is soy milk, which comes in three flavors-original, chocolate, and green tea. Mr. Bean also offers a wide range of other products, such as soybean curd, soya pudding, rice bowls, and more.

History of Mr. Bean S’pore halal certification

In 2018, Mr. Bean was embroiled in a social media storm over halal certification Singapore, particularly when the bak kwa eggwich was unveiled.

On Facebook, a user took this unveiling and posted it on their account with ‘No halal’ signs. In the follow-up to this post, Facebook saw quite a stir about Mr. Bean.

Some people have stated that they will no longer use Mr. Bean. While others continued to support Mr. Bean, basing their patronizing on the fact that Mr. Bean wasn’t halal certified back then and Me Bean had also clarified that they don’t use pork or lard ingredients in their products.

How did Mr. Bean get its halal certification again?

This is a significant move for the company, as it opens up a whole new market for them in the Muslim-majority country.

The certification was bestowed by the Singapore Islamic Religious Council (MUIS), and it is valid for three years.

Mr. Bean’s CEO, Mr. Lim, said that the company had been working towards this goal for some time now, and they were very proud to have finally achieved it.

He added that halal certification is important not only for Muslims but also for people of other religions who may have concerns about consuming non-halal products.

This is definitely a positive step forward for Mr. Bean, and we hope to see more brands following suit in the near future.

What benefits will Mr. Bean get through its newly revived halal certification?

There are many benefits that come with having a halal certification, especially for businesses like Mr. Bean. Some of the most notable benefits include:

-Increased credibility and reputation among Muslim consumers

-Access to new markets and potential customers

-Improved product quality and safety standards

– increased efficiency and cost savings in production processes.

Overall, halal certification provides numerous advantages and opportunities for businesses to grow and expand their reach. For Mr. Bean, this will undoubtedly be a valuable asset as they continue to serve up delicious food for all to enjoy.

We would like to congratulate Mr. Bean on this achievement. Subscribe for more information and other latest news and valuable information.

Bon appetite!

Greeting Card: Make It or Buy It?

by Bob Lubin January 14, 2021

written by Bob Lubin

Today, greeting cards become one of the ways to keep in touch with others. Both individuals and businesses use greeting cards! Individual use the card to maintain their relationship with the people they care about. However, for some businesses, they use cards as a medium to keep in touch with their customers and of course for other business purposes.

To get the cards, there are two alternatives that you can choose for that! The first one is you can go to a stationary store or now there are lots of online websites that will help you get beautiful greeting cards. Then the second one, you can make the card and personalized it. So, which option would you like to choose? The first one or the second one? Or maybe you need to think more about whether to buy it or make it? If that’s what you want to do, maybe a few of the points below will help you make your decision!

1. Individual or Business

As mentioned earlier, greeting cards are used by individuals and businesses/organizations. So, which one are you? Are you going to use the card for individual use or business purposes?

Both individuals and businesses only send the cards when it comes to certain days or special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, or maybe Thanksgiving. So, they don’t usually send the card daily. For individual use, they might just send a few greeting cards even on special days. So, they don’t really need lots of cards. But for businesses, they face the opposite since they have to send cards to their customers or maybe to their business partner as well. We can say that they need more cards.

For some companies, usually, they choose to make their own card as a cost-effective option. Because the more cards they make, the cheaper the price they have to pay when printing the card at a printing service such as greeting card printing in Singapore. However, for individuals who only make a small number of cards, they probably won’t get the cheaper price because they make a small number of cards. So, whether they buy or make the cards, they actually pay for the same price.

2. Considering the Time

So, the next thing that can help you make a decision is you have to ask yourself a few things like when will you need the card? If you think to make it, do you still have time for that? How long does the process of making the card take? Or if your time is limited, can buying a card be faster and be a solution? How long will it take to buy all the cards you need?

Based on the time you have, these are just a few examples of questions you can ask yourself whether you need to buy the card or make it. You can ask more questions on the same topic as long as the key point is about the time.

3. Personalized!

Do you need to do some personalization with your greeting card? That is another question you can ask yourself to help you make a decision. For example, if you are individuals or businesses that want to make a greeting card with some personal touch that can represent you or want to add your brand logo on the card, then you should think about making the card instead of buying it!
