Hekhsher

A hekhsher is a certification symbol or label indicating that food products meet specific Jewish dietary laws, known as kashrut. It assures consumers that the food has been prepared, processed, or inspected in accordance with religious standards, often by a certifying authority or organization. The hekhsher helps observant Jews identify foods that are permissible to eat, providing confidence in the compliance of the product. Different organizations may have their own symbols, but all serve the same purpose: ensuring that the food aligns with kashrut requirements.
