The organization also provides another kosher certification label known as Star-D . 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. Star-D is administered by the Star-K but sponsored by The National Council of Young Israel.
