Global portfolio As the world’s largest and widely recognized kosher certification agency with partnerships across major brands (e.g., Mars, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, General Mills), OU Kosher offers a scalable certification ecosystem. Sales outreach can target manufacturers looking to rebrand or expand kosher coverage across multiple SKUs and regions.
Compliance tech OU maintains a robust, state-of-the-art database of over 500,000 ingredients and a modern tech stack.

This presents opportunities to onboard regional manufacturers and exporters seeking kosher certification in emerging markets.
