Kosher extends certification to non-foods

Not only can food achieve Kosher certification but Kosher certification has also been considerably expanded to non-foods. This brings out more opportunities for exporting goods into big markets which now possess the large number of the Jew.  

In recent years, plenty of agencies of Kashrus significantly extended Kosher food certification to non-foods such as devices, shavers, kitchen appliances even cosmetics.  Many kinds of medicine and nutritional supplements were issued Kosher certificates in terms of dental hygiene. Some clergymen told Kosher Today Kashrus's observers today are very cautious about any food even non-foods. It appears that there is growing concern about medicine which was issued Kosher certificate although Rabbinic allows the Jew to take this medicine even if there is no Kosher certificate for this medicine.

According to FDA's regulations (U.S Food and Drug Administration), additives must be chemicals allowed to use in food industry.

"The food processing industry requires quite a lot of stearate and other chemicals from animals' fat in production of materials that interact directly with food such as plastic wrap, etc. Chemicals can be added to plastic by different formulas at concentrations up to two percent in order that when using these chemicals, they will move on to the surface then interact with foods.  Due to this movement and interaction, FDA requires all additives to be allowed in food industry.

In addition, according to a report by Rabbi Zushe Yosef Blech (Senior Kashmir Administrator), products that come into direct contact with food, such as kitchen silver foil and parchment paper which may contain substances releasing animals' fat or food additives or lubricant when being used in kitchen.  Therefore, Kosher's supervision is vital for theses products
