Directory of Kosher Certifying Agencies - Worldwide As a public service, the Chicago Rabbinical Council is presenting a list of common acceptable kosher symbols and their agency’s contact information.
Note: There are more than 700 kosher certifying agencies around the world, making it impossible to list all of them. The fact that a particular agency does not appear on this list does not imply that the cRc has determined it to be substandard.
