South west kosher
Southwest Kosher was founded in 2003 by Rabbi Shmuel Sopher OBM and Rabbi Yaakov Cohen. Southwest Kosher served local food producers in San Antonio, Texas and surrounding areas.
Southwest Kosher provides kosher certification for Trader Joe’s Enchilada Sauce. After the passing of Rabbi Sopher, Rabbi Cohen took the supervision for Trader Joe’s production under the Southwest Kosher.
Southwest Kosher later became Whole Kosher Services. Although currently Whole Kosher Services provides new kosher certification services, Trader Joe’s Enchilada Sauce remains with the Southwest Kosher’s symbol.
