Is Nongshim (Shin Ramyun) halal?

No halal claim

Nongshim USA makes no halal claim for Shin Ramyun. The US product lists beef bone extract, beef extract and beef fat, with no halal certification shown.

The longer answer

Nongshim USA's product page for Shin Ramyun Original (checked October 2026) describes a "rich, savory beef broth, enhanced with beef bone extract". Its ingredient list includes beef bone extract, beef extract and beef fat, along with wheat noodles, palm oil, soy and wheat proteins, mono and diglycerides and dried vegetables.

The page shows no halal, kosher or vegan certification, and Nongshim USA's website has no FAQ or halal statement that we could find. With no certification, the beef ingredients cannot be assumed to come from halal slaughtered animals.

Shin Ramyun sold in other countries may be made in different factories to different recipes. We could not confirm from a Nongshim page which, if any, versions are halal certified, so check the pack rather than the name.

What to check before you order

Look for a halal certifier's logo printed on the pack. The standard US Shin Ramyun lists beef extract and beef fat and shows no halal mark.

How we decide

We only report what the company or its certifier has said publicly, and we link to it below. We do not test food, and we do not take a brand’s word from a single franchise. If a location tells you something different from this page, trust the location and tell us.
