THE BENEFITS OF KOSHER CERTIFICATION
Why go kosher?
Consumers often consider a kosher symbol on a product to be a sign that the company is transparent, trustworthy, and consumer-oriented. Kosher certification is an ongoing process, with routine monitoring to ensure that kosher standards are upheld. Therefore, an establishment’s kosher status reflects an ongoing commitment to food safety, ethical food sourcing, and compliance.
Beyond the Jewish community, kosher symbols convey essential information to other religious adherents, vegetarians, and individuals with specific food intolerances who seek assurance that a product meets their needs.

Cleveland Kosher will schedule an initial inspection of your facility and operations.
A comprehensive feasibility study will follow, detailing the procedures necessary to bring your facility to the highest kosher standards.

Additional visits to your facility by a rabbinical coordinator may be necessary, to assist you in completing the steps outlined in the agreement.
