Kosher certification for exporting to Israel
Most food sold in Israel is kosher certified. Exporting there takes close coordination with your importer.
In short
To export food to Israel, importers usually require kosher certification accepted by the rabbinic authorities they work with, typically the Chief Rabbinate of Israel or a recognised private supervision. Requirements can change, so confirm them with your importer before production. Kosher Madrid certification is recognised by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel.
