Kosher: Set the product and designation request
The route requires a consistent product, origin and production file for the chosen issuer. OU provides an example; the actual body's conditions govern the work.
Set the product and designation request
For a hypothetical biscuit range, a buyer asks for pareve and for Passover acceptance. Record those as distinct requests alongside recipes, suppliers and equipment. OU’s product/designation list is Schedule B; approved inputs are Schedule A. Do not infer pareve or Passover approval from a vegan label. The actual kosher issuer determines the product’s accepted designation.
Programme conditions and worked assessment
A new co-manufacturer will make a product whose symbol permission covers the previous site. Compare approved inputs, recipe, equipment and product designation with the proposed arrangement. Record the issuer questions and supervision/permission decisions before using old labels. Neither a vegan claim nor an unchanged brand establishes kosher acceptance for the new production.
Evidence and authority boundary
The actual issuer owns assessment and permission. OU sources do not establish A consultancy service authority; ingredient questions and site conditions prevent a universal price or completion guarantee.

Change review and issuer decision

Match these records to the actual product and production
- Ingredient and processing-aid lists
- Supplier kosher documentation
- Production and cleaning records
Prepare your recipes, processing aids and manufacturing arrangements.
For an enquiry, identify the changed product, source or site, the existing approved scope and the unresolved issuer question. Separate preparation work from the issuer’s assessment, supervision and permission decisions.
