Kosher Korner: Housekeeping in the kosher industry

Since my start with Kosher Australia over a year ago, I have visited many factories to see if they can be kosher certified or re-certified. One aspect of an audit is checking the cleaning processes. Sometimes I feel that as there are so many regulations, like hallel, organic... the company is usually subject to that getting kosher re-certified would be one of the easier processes.

Introducing our new food chemist

I would like to introduce myself to the readers of the newsletter. My name is Mordechai Hoenders and I started working for Kosher Australia in May 2010. I am involved in carrying out audits in the food industry. I have a Chemical Engineering degree from The Netherlands and I also previously studied in Tiferes Bachurim yeshiva in New Jersey (US). During the yeshiva period in 2006 I became excited about the idea of working in an area combining the disciplines of Torah and chemical engineering.
