Understanding kosher seals and certification marks

Kosher seals (hechshers) are certification marks placed on labels only after a plant meets the halachic and technical requirements of a supervising agency. We coordinate with globally recognized agencies and local authorities so your packaging is approved the first time.

What the seal means

The mark signals that ingredients, processes, equipment, and documentation meet the standard of the certifying agency for the declared status (Pareve/Dairy/Meat; year‑round or Passover).

Label review

We prepare your label dossier so the seal, product name, ingredient list, allergens, and production site references pass the agency review efficiently.

What is kosher in an industrial context?

Kosher is a food‑law system with specific rules for ingredients, equipment history, cleaning and heat treatment, and segregation between dairy, meat, and pareve. In plants, this translates into defined SOPs that are auditable and repeatable.

Ingredients & suppliers

Approval lists, certificates, and change‑control for every additive, processing aid, and packaging that might contact food.

Equipment status

Heat history and prior runs determine if vessels need kasherization by boiling, steam, or dry heat according to halachic thresholds.

Facility segregation

Color‑coded tools, lines, and storage with clear flow of people, ingredients, and finished goods to prevent cross‑use.

Our kosherization process

From discovery to certification, our process is designed for speed without sacrificing halachic rigor or food‑safety discipline.

1
Discovery & scope. We map products, lines, utilities, and cleaning sequences; capture change‑control and regulatory context in Spain.
2
Pre‑audit & gap report. Ingredient and supplier screen, label mock‑ups, and SOP review against target agency requirements.
3
Kasherization plan. Define CIP/SIP parameters, temperatures, dwell times, water volumes, and required hefsek (downtime) or hag'alah steps.
4
On‑site execution. Supervised cleaning, boil‑out or steam‑through, blowdown documentation, seals/locks as required.
5
Validation & records. Logs, thermocouple evidence, photos, and sign‑offs for audit files and certifier submission.
6
Certification support. We coordinate with OU, OK, Star‑K, KLBD, or other agencies until you receive approval to print the seal.

Frequently asked questions

How long does industrial kosherization take?

Discovery and pre‑audit typically complete within one week, and on‑site kosherization is often achieved in a single day per line, depending on complexity and Passover needs.

Do we need new equipment?

Usually not. Most plants succeed through documented cleaning, heat treatment, and segregation, unless equipment has incompatible prior use that cannot be remediated.

Which kosher seal should we choose?

Choice depends on target markets and buyers. We provide a comparison and introduce you to the agencies that best fit your products and timelines.

Is Passover (Pesach) kosherization different?

Yes. Pesach removes chometz risk and may require higher thresholds, additional purges, or dedicated ingredients and scheduling.
