About
Direct Kosher was established to fill a gap in the Kosher certification market. Prior to our inception, companies seeking Kosher certification were required to approach individual certifying agencies and endure the exhausting application process multiple times, before settling on a suitable agency.
We sought to streamline this process and reduce the time and effort expended by doing the legwork for you.

F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
When getting Kosher certified, there are three basic certification grades you can achieve:
1. Kosher Parev – Basic-level kosher. This is the level of kosher certification taken by the majority of Kosher-certified companies and it covers products which are neither meat or dairy derived.
2. Kosher Passover – Passover-certified materials are at the highest level of Kosher certification. The product is qualified for year-round consumption, including Passover. We will be happy to advise regarding this status.
3. Kosher Dairy – Dairy derived products can be given kosher certification. Please contact us for more details and other dairy Kosher solutions.
4. Kosher Batch Production – Under certain circumstances, Kosher certification can only be issued when production has been supervised from beginning to end. We will be happy to advise.
Many companies with existing Kosher certification approach us. This can be for a number of reasons:
- They feel that they are paying too much for their kosher certificate.
- Initial costs have spiralled due to additional audits.
- They are simply unhappy with the service provided by their current Kosher certifier.
At Direct Kosher, we do not encourage switching from one certifying agency to another. We can, however, step in and offer impartial advice on how to proceed, no matter your predicament. We maintain relationships with all major Kosher certifiers and will be happy to mediate and negotiate your requirements.
