Star-K
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Star-K organization, also known as the Vaad Hakashrut of Baltimore, is a kosher certifying agency based in Baltimore, Maryland under the administration of Rav Moshe Heinemann, with the involvement of many other rabbis (see list of rabbis). The organization supervises numerous commercial food products and food establishments (such as restaurants and caterers), and conducts Shaatnez testing in Baltimore, New York City, and many other places.
The organization also shares its offices with another kosher certification label known as Star-D [1]. As Star-K has a policy of not certifying a dairy product or establishment that is not Cholov Yisroel, the Star-D label is offered to those products and establishments that contain or serve non-Cholov Yisroel ingredients.
