Our ISO Standard
What Is KOSHER Certification
Kosher Certification is an official recognition that a food product, ingredient, or facility complies with Jewish dietary laws (kashrut), ensuring that all ingredients, processing methods, and equipment meet strict religious standards. It guarantees that products are free from non-kosher substances, avoids cross-contamination, and are regularly inspected by a certifying authority or rabbinical agency. This certification helps manufacturers and exporters cater to Jewish consumers and others who consider kosher products as higher quality or cleaner.
Why KOSHER Certification Is Important
Kosher Certification is important because it assures consumers that food products meet strict religious dietary laws, making them suitable for Jewish individuals who follow kashrut. It also builds trust and credibility for brands, expands market access to Jewish communities and other consumers seeking high-quality, safe, and clean products, and helps businesses comply with international standards for food safety and labeling. Additionally, it can enhance brand reputation and open opportunities in global markets where kosher-certified products are in demand.
Key Principles of KOSHER Certification
The key principles of Kosher Certification are:
Permissible Ingredients – Only ingredients that comply with Jewish dietary laws are allowed; prohibited items like pork, shellfish, and certain animal by-products are strictly avoided.
Separation of Meat and Dairy – Meat and dairy products must be processed, stored, and served separately to prevent mixing.
Proper Slaughtering (Shechita) – Animals must be slaughtered according to specific religious guidelines to be considered kosher.
Equipment and Utensil Compliance – Equipment and utensils used in production must be kosher and cleaned according to kosher standards, often requiring dedicated machinery for meat and dairy.
Inspection and Supervision – Certified rabbis or authorized inspectors regularly monitor facilities, production processes, and ingredient sourcing to ensure ongoing compliance.
Labeling and Traceability – Products must be properly labeled, and all ingredients and processes must be traceable to maintain certification integrity.
If you want, I can also summarize this in a shorter, concise version for easy reference.
How to Get KOSHER Certification
To get Kosher Certification, a business must first apply to a recognized kosher certification agency. The process involves a thorough review of all ingredients, suppliers, and production processes to ensure compliance with Jewish dietary laws. A rabbinical supervisor (mashgiach) may inspect the facility, verify equipment, and oversee production. The business may need to modify recipes, processes, or equipment to meet kosher standards. Once compliance is confirmed, the agency grants certification, allowing the product to carry the kosher symbol on its label. Regular inspections and renewals are required to maintain the certification.
