Rulings behind these verdicts

Recognized certifying agency on certification

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.

Tier definition

Hey Kosher reads what is printed on the package and matches it against published rulings. It is not a halakhic authority. For the final word, ask your rabbi or the certifying agency.
