The history of Paris Baguette traces back to 1988 when it opened its first store in South Korea.

But one thing that has been in the minds of many Singaporean: is Paris Baguette halal certified in Singapore?
Paris Baguette Singapore is NOT halal certified by Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS). This is verified in MUIS official website where Paris Baguette is not part of the list of halal-certified eating establishments. It is also mentioned in Paris Baguette Singapore’s online ordering website where it states that it is not halal-certified. However, all of Paris Baguette Singapore products contain no pork and no lard.
That said, if you happen to be in Malaysia, be rest assured that Paris Baguette outlets in the country are halal-certified. Also, Paris Baguette is in the midst of building the first halal manufacturing food hub in the world in Johor, Malaysia. Upon completion, it will serve the major halal markets in South East Asia, Middle East, and North African region.
