We have lately added lots of kosher restaurants all over the USA that are being supervised, and have a kosher certification from the OK Kosher Certification.
So in this post, we want to discuss the Kashruth and standards used by the OK Kosher Certification for all the restaurants it supervises.
Before anything, it should be noted that Kosher Travel Info is only listing kosher restaurants that have a kosher certification from a recognized orthodox agency or local orthodox Rabbi.
Now… Back to the OK…. Some other Kashruth agencies, even bigger ones, may have their normal standards (no shrimp and pork! just kidding… this is a given), but be lenient on others. Like Cholov Yisroel. They will post all the info (i.e., Cholov Stam), but might not mandate it. But with the OK Kosher Certification agency, it is so refreshing that they have a fixed set of rules for ALL the kosher restaurants they supervise.

Here is the standards from the OK Kosher Certification
We are pleased to share our unified global foodservice standards with the public.
The OK Kosher Certificate on a foodservice establishment means:
- Keys to cooking areas, refrigerators and freezers are held by mashgichim
- Our vegetable checking methods were developed under the guidance of HaRav Asher Eckstein, shlita, who is world-renowned for his expertise in vegetable checking
- Keilim are kashered only when “Eino Ben Yoma”
- All baked goods are Pas Yisroel
- All wines are mevushal
- All dairy establishments are exclusively Cholov Yisroel
- All meat establishments use only Chassidishe Shechita meat
