Dear so right and helpful. Sorry to point out but you are unfortunately very unaware The CRC chicago has been around for decades and has many talmidie chochomim as its members. It is completely unaffiliated with crc in NY which is basically a Satmar entity. Anybody in the midwest and california knows about them and they also certify many national and commercial food products that you can buy all across the US (including in many supermarkets right here in ny)you can find many of their certified products even in heimishe stores . They are an equal equivalent of OU OK Star-k Kof-k etc.. albeit on a smaller scale.You probably have even relied on their hechsher or some their supervisory rabbonim who might work for multiple Hechsherim without even realizing it.
