STAR-K Kosher Certification in the Philippines is the local office representing STAR-K, a global nonprofit Orthodox Jewish kosher agency headquartered in Baltimore, USA. It supports manufacturers in the Philippines and Asia–Pacific with kosher supervision, audit coordination, and ongoing compliance for certified facilities.

Food and beverage manufacturers, ingredient and industrial food chemical producers, appliance makers, and foodservice operators in the Philippines benefit from STAR-K certification. Certification helps these companies meet kosher requirements and build trust with international buyers and distributors.

Kosher certification is often a requirement for exporting to key markets such as Israel, North America, and Europe. It signals strong process control, ingredient transparency, and adherence to recognized religious and quality standards.

The process typically includes an application, ingredient and process review, an on‑site inspection, and, once approved, issuance of a Letter of Certification with ongoing audits. STAR-K Philippines works closely with the global STAR-K team to streamline each step for local facilities.

The Philippines team guides clients on kosher requirements, ingredient approvals, production design, and preparation for audits. After certification, they coordinate ongoing supervision, renewals, and updates as ingredients, products, product lines or facilities change.
