The kosher supervisor (Mashgiach) is the vital link in the chain that ensures that a food product is correctly prepared kosher. A Mashgiach (Hebrew: משגיח, pl. משגיחים, mashgichim, lit. “Supervisor”) is a Jew who supervises the kashrut status of a kosher establishment. A Mashgiach may supervise any type of food service establishment including slaughterhouses, food manufacturers, hotels, caterers, nursing homes, restaurants, butchers, groceries, or cooperatives. The Mashgiach usually works as the on-site supervisor and inspector, representing the kashrut organization or a local rabbi, who actually makes the policy decisions for what is or is not acceptably kosher.
KASHRUS Magazine, the periodical for the kosher consumer and trade, has participated in Kosherfest since its inception in 1988.
Kosherfest November 11 & 12, 2014 at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, NJ, is the world’s largest and most attended kosher-certified products trade show.
