Sectors
Kosher certification for canned foods from Spain
Spanish canned food is exported worldwide. For kosher, the key is knowing what runs through each retort and line over the season.
In short
For canned foods we review ingredients (oils, sauces, broths), fish species, shared use of retorts, cookers and lines, and cleaning procedures. Some cooked products may require additional supervision, depending on the standard the market demands.
What we certify
- Peppers, asparagus, artichokes and tomatoes
- Cooked pulses
- Tuna, bonito, sardines and mackerel
- Sauces, soups and ready meals
- Fruit in syrup

More about PassoverSector questions
Can we certify tuna if we also pack mussels?
It depends on how the lines are separated and how they are cleaned. We look at it during the initial audit.
Is wine vinegar a problem?
Grape-derived products are only kosher with specific supervision. If your recipe uses one, we will find a certified alternative.
