Certification Process
Eight clear steps to kosher certification
Every operation is different, but the route to certification should be understandable. KAG uses a structured review to connect your application with real products and production conditions.
The KAG pathway
From first review to continued assurance
The sequence below describes a normal industrial certification pathway. The exact timing and evidence depend on scope, complexity and readiness.
Product & ingredient review
KAG reviews formulations, raw materials, suppliers and supporting certificates relevant to the proposed certified products.
Facility assessment
Production flows, equipment, storage, utilities and shared-line conditions are assessed against kosher requirements.
Certification review
Findings are evaluated and any required ingredient, process or control changes are documented clearly.
Agreement & approval
The certification scope, approved products, operating conditions and ongoing responsibilities are confirmed in writing.
Certification authorization
Once conditions are met, KAG authorizes the approved products within the defined certification scope.
Label & mark approval
Packaging that will display the KAG mark is reviewed before use so the mark appears only on authorized products.
Ongoing compliance
Periodic review, renewal and change control help keep ingredients, products, sites and labels aligned with the certification.
Prepare well
What helps the review move efficiently
Complete, consistent information reduces avoidable follow-up and lets the assessment focus on material certification questions.
- A defined product and facility list
- Current formulas, ingredients and supplier details
- Process flows and shared-equipment information
- A company contact who can coordinate quality, purchasing and production
Timing
How long does certification take?
There is no responsible universal timeline. The number of products and sites, formula complexity, supplier documentation, facility scheduling and any required changes all affect completion.
SCOPE
Products and sites
A focused, accurate initial scope is easier to evaluate than an undefined portfolio.
READINESS
Documents available
Current supplier and process information can prevent repeated clarification cycles.
COMPLEXITY
Shared operations
Multi-use equipment and co-manufacturing arrangements may need deeper review.
ACTIONS
Changes required
Ingredient replacements or operating controls must be resolved before approval.
