HS KOSHER
At HS Kosher, we are more than just a supplier; we are a trusted partner in bringing quality kosher food to your table.
HS KOSHER - D
The HS Kosher Symbol with a D next to it means you’re looking at either a kosher dairy product or a product containing kosher dairy ingredients. Dairy ingredients are only kosher if they came from the milk of a kosher animal.
HS KOSHER - DE
Understanding HS Kosher Dairy, the HS KOSHER - DE Symbol stands for Kosher Dairy Equipment and refers to an essentially Pareve product that was made on thoroughly cleaned lines, that were not kosherised after a prior run of a dairy product.
HS KOSHER - F
The HS KOSHER Symbol accompanied by the letter F represents a product that contains fish-based ingredients. While fish is Pareve, there is a prohibition in Torah Law (though not technically Kosher Law) against eating meat and fish at the same time.
HS KOSHER - M
The HS KOSHER Symbol accompanied by the letter M stands for Kosher Meat, and applies to foods that either are, or contain, kosher meat or poultry. Meat-derived ingredients are only kosher if they came from a kosher species of bird or land animal. Kosher land mammals are ruminants (chew their cud) that also have cloven (split) hooves. As for birds, the the Torah lists the prohibited ones by name.
HS KOSHER - P
The HS KOSHER Symbole accompanied with the letter P stands for Kosher-for-Pesach certification. Pesach is an eight-day Jewish holiday in which the use of certain grains are forbidden except in the making of a special ritual flatbread known as Matzah. During this time, not only do observant Jews not eat the forbidden grains, but Jews aren’t allowed to own or even see them in their homes and communal spaces.
HS KOSHER - Pareve
The HS KOSHER Symbol accompanied with the word Pareve is the kosher symbol you’ll see most often, as it represents the most common kosher category of foods. Pareve is Hebrew for ‘neutral’. This refers to foods that don’t contain any dairy, meat or poultry ingredients or their traces. Furthermore, foods can only be deemed Pareve when they haven’t been heated or prepared with any dairy, meat or poultry foods.
HS KOSHER - PY
The HS KOSHER Symbol accompanied by PY represents the Kosher Pas Yisroel standard. This can apply to any grain flour-based, baked food. Literally translated as “Jewish Baked Good,” this distinction denotes that an observant Jew (i.e. the kosher field rep, or Mashgiach) participated in baking it.
HS KOSHER - DCY
The HS KOSHER Symbol accompanied with the letters DCY stands for a dairy certification with the added level of Cholov Yisroel. Translated as “Jewish Dairy”, this higher level of supervision denotes that an observant Jew (i.e. the kosher field rep; the Mashgiach) was present for the entire production process, from milking the cow to product packaging.
