EarthKosher is a company from the United States that helps make sure certain foods and products follow special rules. This is called kosher certification. Their main office is in Boulder, Colorado. They also have offices in other places like California, New Jersey, Mexico City, and Jerusalem.

What is Kosher Certification?

Kosher certification means that food or products meet the rules of kashrut. These are traditional Jewish dietary laws. A company like EarthKosher checks everything. They look at the ingredients and how things are made. This ensures the product is "kosher" and can be eaten by people who follow these rules.

Who Works at EarthKosher?

Important religious leaders, called rabbis, work with EarthKosher. They help make sure all the rules are followed correctly. Rabbi Zushe Yosef Blech was a key advisor for EarthKosher for many years. He helped guide the company until 2018. As of 2022, Rabbi Sholom H. Adler was the main administrator for kosher rules.

More Than Just Kosher

EarthKosher also helps certify other types of products. They check if products are:

  • Vegan: This means they contain no animal products at all.
  • Paleo: These products follow a diet similar to what early humans might have eaten.
  • Non-GMO: This means the ingredients are not genetically modified.

How EarthKosher Works Today
