The logo indicates that a product may be
consumed by all those who observe kosher
dietary laws, as well as by many others who
have special dietary requirements, such as
Moslems and Seventh Day Adventists. It also
serves as a guide to millions of individuals who
are vegetarian or lactose intolerant.

But in the public eye it has come to mean far
more. Today, manufacturers and consumers alike
view the
logo as an independent verification
of quality, integrity and purity. They know, too,
that the reputation of the Orthodox Union is
unmatched for reliability and for meeting the
highest kosher standards. By far the largest of
the kosher certification agencies—and by far the most extensive in its global reach—the
Orthodox Union is renowned for its ability to
serve its clients’ needs promptly and efficiently.

Whether you manufacture consumer food items
or industrial ingredients, or you are involved in
private labeling, food service or any other aspect
of food production or distribution, the conferral
of OU kosher certification on your brand will
raise its profile in the marketplace and help
expand your market share.
