History of EarthKosher

EarthKosher was founded in 2004 by the Goldman Family.

Rabbi Zushe Yosef Blech served as a rabbinic consultant of EarthKosher from its inception, continuing on to become the Senior Kashrus Administrator in 2007 until his death on January 20, 2018.[1]

Rabbi Sholom H. Adler is the Senior Kashrus Administrator of EarthKosher. Rabbi Adler oversees all companies certified under EarthKosher's kosher certification program, and determines the kosher standards and policies applicable to these companies. His kashrus experience was culled from serving as Director of Industrial Kashrus for the Kashruth Council of Canada (COR) for 12 years, as well as concurrently serving on the Association of Kashrus Organizations (AKO) Executive Committee for the same duration prior to joining EarthKosher.[2]

Rabbi Yehuda Goldman is the CEO at EarthKosher, overseeing the sales, day to day management, and Kosher Certification operations in coordination with the Senior Kashrus Administrator.

As of 2019, EarthKosher certifies over 450 companies in more than 40 countries worldwide.

In addition to kosher certification, EarthKosher offers additional certifications including Vegan, Paleo and Non-GMO. This enables companies seeking kosher certification to streamline their certification process by receiving multiple certifications simultaneously.[3]

Industry recognition

EarthKosher is a member of the Association of Kashrus Organizations (AKO) and is further recognized by rabbi Eliezer Eidlitz of Kosherquest.org, as well as being recommended by Chicago Rabbinical Council.[4]

Certification & Inspection Tracking Platform

In early 2018, EarthKosher launched a comprehensive certification & inspection tracking platform developed by Klaftech Data Systems, to seamlessly link rabbinic field representatives, rabbinic coordinators and certified companies to streamline the certification process and maintain higher certification standards.[5]
