Kosher
Australia
Established
in 1968 under the auspices of Rabbi Baruch Abaranok z”l, Kosher
Australia (formerly Melbourne Kashrut) is widely recognised as the foremost
Kosher Certification body in Australasia. A member of the prestigious
Association of Kashrut Organisations (AKO), we boast a Rabbinic board
garnered from across the spectrum of Orthodox and ultra-Orthodox Judaism.
The Kosher Australia kosher symbol
appears on products manufactured throughout Australia and Asia including
the Indian subcontinent. We also work in close conjunction with the
major US Kosher Agencies, and have Rabbinic representation throughout
Australia, Asia and Europe.
The
Kosher Australia kosher certification appears on products as diverse
as wine, flavours, cheeses, yoghurts, fruit products, meat products,
flavoured coffees, baked goods, cereals, enzymes, honey, ethanol, vegetable
oils, fish products and breakfast cereals. Our major clients include
Kerry Ingredients, SPC Ardmona, Goodman Fielder, Unilever, Cadbury Schweppes,
Masterfoods (Mars), Quest International, Murray Goulburn and Crown Casino.
Recently Kosher Australia has begun initiatives
with the Australian Halal Food Services Trust, a major Halal certifier
in Australia. These initiatives aim to take advantage of synergies between
the two markets. In
addition, Kosher Australia works closely with such Australian Government
agencies as Austrade and Regional Development Victoria to promote and
assist in the marketing of Kosher certified products.
Kosher Australia is also one of the first Agencies
to commence implementation of the K-Cert system which is elemental in
maintaining the integrity of the Kosher certification process.
