A mashgiach is a trained kosher supervisor who oversees food production to make sure it meets kosher standards — checking ingredients, inspecting equipment and produce, and confirming procedures.
What a mashgiach does
- Verifies incoming ingredients and their certificates.
- Inspects equipment, lines, and cleaning.
- Oversees or spot-checks production, depending on the product.
Will a mashgiach be at my facility full-time?
