Kosher certification confirms that food, ingredient or personal care products comply with Jewish dietary law (Kashrut). It is required for products exported to Israel and accepted by Jewish consumers across US, EU, Canada and Australia markets.
Kosher certification takes 15-30 days after ingredient submission and facility audit. First-time applicants should plan 30-60 days for ingredient sourcing review, rabbinical inspection and label artwork approval.
OU (Orthodox Union), Star-K, OK Kosher, KOF-K and CRC are widely accepted Kosher agencies. Israel, US, Canada, UK, France and Australia retailers typically accept any of these symbols with valid certificate.
Pareve means neither meat nor dairy, suitable for consumption with both. Dairy products contain milk-derived ingredients and cannot be consumed with meat per Kashrut. Both statuses are valid Kosher classifications.
Yes, Kosher certification by an accepted Israeli or US rabbinical authority is typically required for food and ingredient exports to Israel. The Israel Ministry of Health may request documentation at port of entry.
Yes, cosmetics and personal care products can be Kosher certified. Key concerns are animal-derived ingredients (lanolin, collagen), alcohol-based formulations and production line segregation from non-kosher items.
Kosher certification starts from ₹19,999 plus annual renewal fee of ₹6,999. Multi-product, multi-site or Pesach (Passover) certifications incur additional agency fees per facility or season.
Pesach Kosher is a stricter seasonal certification required for products consumed during the Jewish Passover festival. Chametz ingredients like wheat, barley and oats are prohibited unless kitniyot or specially supervised.
