Certification Process

Step 1 Complete and send your application to your local KCJ office/ affiliate. You may do this by filling out a form and submitting it online. The application asks for logistical information about your company and your plant, as well as a list of the products you want certified, and their ingredients.

Step 2 A Rabbi will be assigned to handle your application, and will be available to answer your questions, address your needs, and guide you through the certification process.

Step 3 A qualified Rabbi will visit your plant to observe your operation and the feasibility of certifying your products (note: there is a processing fee). The Rabbi will tour your plant and file a written report.

Step 4 Your application and inspection report will be reviewed by the Rabbinical Council who will advise you whether or not KCJ can grant certification. In some instances, some modifications may be required for certification to be granted.

Step 5 The Rabbi will draft a contract including all of requirements of KCJ for kosher certification. If acceptable to you the contract is signed and returned to the KCJ office, and a letter of certification is sent to you.

Step 6 You may then submit your new product labels carrying the KCJ symbol for our final approval.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You are now on your way to joining a family of companies which proudly carry the well-known and widely accepted kosher trademark of KCJ.
