Kasher Certification for Establishments
Bringing Halakhic Integrity and Sepharadic Standards to Your Kitchen
Whether you are a restaurateur seeking to serve the growing observant community, a hotel catering to Jewish and Muslim guests, or a food processing plant in need of reliable supervision, the Caribbean Kasher Authority (CKA) provides professional kasher certification built on halakhic rigor, transparency, and Sepharadi tradition.
What We Certify
CKA certifies a wide range of establishments, including:
- Restaurants – dine-in, takeout, or delivery
- Hotels and Resorts – kitchens, room service, events
- Catering Services – private functions, semaḥoth, and corporate events
- Food Factories and Processing Plants – industrial-level production lines
Certification opens your establishment to a broader clientele seeking authentic kasher standards with full halakhic reliability
Our Certification Process
#1
Initial Consultation & Facility Review
We begin with a site visit to assess:
Kitchen layout and equipment
Ingredient sourcing and menu content
Staff roles and workflow
This allows us to tailor a supervision plan that fits your specific operation.
#2
Full Kitchen Kasherization
Where required, we perform a thorough kashering of the facility:
- Deep cleaning of all appliances, surfaces, and utensils
- 24-hour lockdown period to ensure halakhic reset
- Kashering of ovens, stovetops, sinks, cookware, and machinery
- Replacement of any non-kasher or non-kasherable items
#3
Menu and Ingredient Vetting
Our mashgiḥim work directly with chefs to ensure that every dish is:
- Free from non-kasher ingredients
- Composed of ingredients with recognized kasher certification
- Compliant with halakhic norms of meat, dairy, and pareve separation
We provide alternatives and sourcing suggestions as needed.
#4
On-Site Supervision
CKA assigns experienced on-site mashgiḥim who supervise:
- All food prep and cooking
- Delivery intake and storage
- Compliance with bishul yisrael and path yisrael where applicable
- Event preparation and service (for hotels and caterers)
Supervision may be continuous or scheduled, depending on the operation.
#5
