Keeping it Kosher

by OU Kosher

https://keepingitkosher.org/ The food industry is moving fast — and so is the work behind keeping food kosher. Lab-grown ingredients, GMOs, proprietary recipes, and AI-powered processes are creating kashrus issues no one has ever imagined. Every month, we sit down with leading kashrus experts — and the people on the ground — to discuss the questions that matter most to kosher consumers. Join us as we explore never-before-told stories of mashgichim, the inner workings of the world's largest manufacturers, and the fascinating challenges behind keeping our food kosher. Whether you're curious about the latest food innovations, or wondering what it takes to certify a plant in a remote corner of the world, you're in the right place. Submit your kashrus questions to the OU Kosher Hotline at Kosherq@ou.org or 212-613-8241.
