All rights will be strictly enforced. 2 OK Kosher Certification Mission Statement The ~ family is committed to all of its clients and to the kosher consumer. We are committed to upholding the standards of kosher law. We are committed to fast, high-quality service. We are committed to the use of state-of-the-art technology to streamline your kosher program. These commitments are evident at every stage of our relationship with our clients. The ~ uses its many resources and over 70 years of kosher certification experience to counsel companies regarding numerous kosher-related issues, including cost-effective production and ingredient alternatives, to better serve our customers. When issues do arise, we work with our customers to find acceptable solutions without compromising kosher standards. We believe that communication is essential to the effective development of a kosher program. To this end, we encourage our clients to ask questions. When you are unsure, ask the ~. If you are not sure if you should ask, then you should ask. When you are fairly sure, ask anyway. Our Rabbinic Coordinators prefer to answer twenty questions than to encounter one problem that results from a question not asked. Our Rabbinic Coordinators will answer your questions in a friendly and timely manner – they are here to serve you. This manual was prepared by our office staff and coordinated by Rabbi Levi Marmulszteyn.
