Kosher certification for juices and citrus products

Spanish oranges and lemons reach manufacturers worldwide as juice, concentrate, pulp or essential oil. For many of them, a kosher certificate is a condition of purchase.

In short

For juices and citrus we review enzymes and processing aids, flavourings, blends with other fruit (especially grape, which requires special supervision), filtration materials and the cleaning of evaporators and lines.

What we certify

  • Fresh-squeezed and NFC juice
  • Concentrates and purées
  • Pulp and juice sacs
  • Essential oils and citrus flavours
  • Citrus fibre and peel

Passover production

Pure juices can be certified for Passover and are in high demand at that time. Additives such as ascorbic acid or sweeteners are reviewed.
