The short answer

Kosher certification confirms that food, ingredients or chemicals meet Jewish dietary laws. Indian manufacturers obtain it from recognised kosher certification agencies, which review ingredients and suppliers, inspect production facilities, set supervision requirements and issue certificates. It helps exports to the US, Israel and other markets where buyers require kosher-compliant inputs.
