Houston Kashruth Association : Kosher Guidelines Manual
This manual serves as an addendum to all client contracts and is a reflection of HKA policies.
It must be stated once again that all ingredients and food products must be pre approved by an HKA rabbinic Supervisor and the fact that the guidelines may declare that the item is acceptable does not supersede the need for rabbinic approval.
