Insect control
Jewish law forbids eating insects. For vegetables such as spinach, broccoli or cauliflower we review washing and inspection procedures.
Sectors
Kosher certification for frozen foods from Spain
For frozen vegetables and fruit, insect control and line cleaning matter most in kosher certification. We help you organise both without stopping production.
In short
Certifying frozen foods involves reviewing raw materials (especially freedom from insects in leafy and cruciferous vegetables), blanchers and shared equipment, added ingredients (sauces, batters, oils) and each product’s status: pareve, dairy or meat.
What we certify
- Frozen vegetables (IQF and block)
- Frozen fruit and purées
- Ready meals and sauces
- Frozen dough, bread and pastries
- Battered and pre-cooked products
What we review in your plant
Blanching and cooking
Equipment shared with meat or fish products and cleaning protocols between runs.
Added ingredients
Sauces, batters, oils and flavourings, each with its source and certificate.

A dish containing milk or butter is certified as dairy and labelled accordingly.
Markets
Who will ask you for it
Retailers and food-service manufacturers in the US, the UK and Israel often require frozen products with a recognised kosher certificate.
Passover
Passover production
Some frozen vegetables and fruit can be certified for Passover if they contain no grains or other unsuitable ingredients and the lines meet the requirements.
More about PassoverSector questions
Do we have to change our washing process?
Not always. We first study your current procedure. If an adjustment to washing or inspection is needed, we propose the simplest option that fits your production.
Can you certify dishes that contain meat?
Meat products have very specific requirements, as the meat must come from kosher slaughter. Please ask us about your case before requesting a quote.
