Kosher Certification Process
The first basic criteria for being kosher certified is the raw materials.
Many ingredients such as flavorings or colorings can come from non-kosher substances. Basic non-kosher substances can include byproducts or derivatives of meat, meat/milk mixture, or shellfish.
This does not mean your product is “blessed” by the rabbi but that your facility has been inspected and complies with the kosher dietary laws of the Torah (Old Testament).
The steps to kosher certification are easy:
1. The first step is to verify that your raw materials meet kosher requirements. This can be done over the phone with the quality assurance specialist or someone who knows the entire list of raw materials
2. Contract – See below for pricing estimates
3. Visit to the plant – A visual, Rabbinical inspection, to make sure it meets kosher criteria
4. Certification – You will join the $160 billion/year industry and increase your potential sales market.
Cost of Kosher Certification
Whole Kosher Services is a professional and efficient kosher certification organization. We are not burdened by expensive overhead costs that affect the large, national kosher certification companies. This allows us to provide kosher certification at substantial discounts compared to others. At Whole Kosher Services, we understand that each processing facility is unique. Price quotes will be customized and will be based on the following criteria:
Frequency of Visits:
Depending upon the nature of the products being packed, a plant may need to be visited anywhere from one to four times per year.
Number of Ingredients:
Finished products with few ingredients require less supervision than products with many ingredients.
Sensitivity of Ingredients:
Some food items are considered more sensitive than others. For example, oils are considered sensitive and require the plant to be visited more frequently. Items such as refined sugar and butter would require fewer inspections.
Location of Processing Facility:
Travel expenses are included in quotes. Therefore, pricing will reflect necessary transportation costs, including air travel, car rental and hotel.
Square Footage of Facility:
Larger facilities require more inspection and, therefore, more time.
Number of Processing Facilities:
Multiple processing facilities will require additional travel expenses.
Multi-Use Facilities or Equipment:
Facilities or machinery that is used to process multiple items often require additional supervision. Care must be taken to ensure non-kosher products are not produced on the same processing lines or machinery as kosher products.
