Is three line k kosher a reliable kosher symbol?
No, it is not. They allow carmine in their products. It is a dye that is extracted from insects.
Who certifies food products that simply have the letter “K”?
ujm, you should ask manufacturer of the product
There’s a machlokes if bug extract used for coloring can be eaten. Most Rabbonim are machmir and say no. So it’s not definitely problematic, just meikel on something a little less common.
The best hashgacha there is, is hashgacha pratis under the hechsher ? k ? k
Just coincidence but I have seen this Hashgacha
symbolOn prepackaged salads and fruit from California and the southwest. Presumably, they are not machmir onSmall insects. ??If you’re talking about the agency that certifies the danishes in Brooklyn 7/11’s, then it’s not even orthodox. “Ethical kosher” with 3 bar lines next to a K is run by a man named benzaquen who has a conservative temple in NY.
this is Jacob Benzaquen, there are other Sephardi Benzaquens that seem to be running kosher kosher symbols – KoLA, and others. As we learned from Noah’s, not all the family is the same.
the three line K symbol is a fanciful K. the K itself is composed of three lines.
the rabbinical administrator is Rabbi I. Israel Kelemer
