A hechsher is the kosher certification symbol you see on a product’s packaging. It’s the registered mark of the agency that certifies the product — a fast, trusted signal that a recognized authority has verified its kosher status.
How to read a hechsher
The symbol identifies the certifying agency. Small letters beside it add detail: D for dairy, P for Passover, and “Pareve” for neutral products.
Why the symbol matters
A reliable hechsher tells retailers, distributors, and shoppers that the product’s ingredients, equipment, and process were all reviewed and are under ongoing supervision.
