Is Kirkland Signature Ancient Grains Organic Granola kosher?

Processed foods are relied upon only with a recognized hechsher, because ingredients, equipment and processing aids cannot be verified from the label alone. Hey Kosher reports what is printed on the package; the agency has the final word.

Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh De'ah 118-119; contemporary agency practice

A reliable hechsher is the preferred way to establish that a processed food is kosher. Where none is present, the ingredient list is read against CJLS rulings and the result is marked for your judgement.

Rabbinical Assembly, "A Guide to Jewish Religious Practice" (Klein, 1979), ch. 21

A recognized hechsher settles the question. Without one, the ingredient list is read for unclean species and questionable animal derivatives.

MJRC Standards of Observance, Kashrut section

The MJRC standards call members to a Torah-based kashrut: biblically clean species, separation of meat and dairy, and respect for the kosher certification system. Hey Kosher's reading of these standards is pending MJRC review.

Messianic Jewish Rabbinical Council, Standards of Observance, Kashrut section

Reform Judaism frames kashrut as informed personal and communal choice, weighing tradition, ethics and sustainability. Hey Kosher shows you the facts on the label and does not issue a verdict for this tier.

This tier reads the ingredient list against Scripture's clean and unclean lists. It does not require rabbinic certification and does not separate meat and dairy.
