Directory of Kosher Certifying Agencies

There are well over 1,400 kosher certifying agencies in the world today. As a public service, the
Chicago Rabbinical Council is presenting a list of common acceptable kosher symbols and their
agencies' contact information.

Recommending certain agencies is the cRc’s intensely-contemplated and most difficult decision,
and we put a great deal of time and research in this endeavor solely to help kosher consumers
without any monetary or other compensation. Because we take this task so seriously, our
Kashruth Administrator, Rabbi Sholem Fishbane, has written an article entitled Understanding the
Reliability of Kosher Agencies https://www.crcweb.org/understanding_reliab.php explaining how
the cRc determines recommendation status in order to help the kosher consumer make an
informed decision. The cRc keeps strictly to halachic/kashrus criteria alone in making these
recommendations, in keeping with our adherence to Torah values. The fact that a particular
agency does not appear on this list does not imply that the cRc has determined
it to be substandard.

For a complete list of Kashrus agencies (which includes both cRc recommended and non-
recommended agencies) visit Kashrus Magazine Online (or call 1-718-336-8544). Special thanks to
Rabbi Yosef Wikler, editor of Kashrus Magazine.

Note: There are four areas of kashrus that require extra diligence and research
even when bearing a recommended kosher symbol.
These four areas are: bagged vegetables which need to be checked for insects, meat, certified for
Passover hotels, and cruises.
