South Korean fast-food chain Lotteria has received halal certification for its Singapore operations, covering its outlets at Jewel Changi Airport and Jurong Point. The certification means customers seeking halal-certified food can consider the chain’s Korean-style burgers and other menu items.

Its menu includes shrimp, beef bulgogi and chicken burgers, as well as Shake Shake Fries; a limited-time teriyaki beef and teriyaki chicken burger series was promoted to mark the certification. Founded in South Korea in 1979, the chain is part of the Lotte group and also operates in several overseas markets.

Halal certification confirms that food and its preparation meet requirements recognised under Islamic dietary rules. It can help Muslim customers decide where to eat, though individual choices about suitable food may vary.
Lotteria is a fast-food chain founded in South Korea in 1979 and part of the Lotte group. In Singapore, it has outlets at Jewel Changi Airport and Jurong Point, serving Korean-style burgers and other fast food.
The certification matters because it makes Lotteria’s Singapore operations an option for customers looking specifically for halal-certified meals. It also reflects the chain’s expansion into a market where halal status is relevant to many diners.
