Rulings behind these verdicts

Recognized certifying agency on certification
OrthodoxRequires hechsher

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

Conservative practice on certification
ConservativeInformationalour summary, pending review

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

MJRC Standards of Observance on certification
MessianicInformationalour summary, pending review

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

ReformInformational

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.

Leviticus 11 on clean and unclean animals
Biblically cleanForbids

Land animals must both chew the cud and have a split hoof. Pig, camel, hare and rock badger are named as unclean, and their flesh and fat are not to be eaten.

Leviticus 11:3-8; Deuteronomy 14:4-8

Biblically clean tier on certification
Biblically cleanInformational

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.

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.
