International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

ISO is a network of national standards institutes from 146 countries working in partnership with international organizations, governments, business and consumer representatives. ISO acts as a bridge between public and private sectors and sets global standards for: efficiency, safety, cleanliness, quality, technology, environmental legislation and trade, among a variety of other standards. ISO works within the realms of business, government and society.

The organization has a number of different certificates for meeting specific standards.

The Kashruth Council of Canada (Kosher Certificate)

The Kosher symbol on the label of a product means that a kosher certification authority has inspected the production process from start to finish. This authority checks every ingredient, reactor, utensil, container and piece of machinery to ensure that nothing non-kosher enters the food at any stage of production. Products that have been certified as kosher are labeled with a mark called a “hekhsher” which in Hebrew means “kosher approval” and generally identifies the organization that certified the product. The process of certification involves examining the ingredients used to make the food, examining the process by which the product is prepared, and periodically inspecting the processing facilities to make sure that kosher standards and policies are maintained.
