Why the world's best known brands choose the OU for Kosher certification

Ask a Kosher Question

If your question is urgent, please call the Kashruth Hotline at 212-613-8241
or fax your question to, 212-613-0752.

The OU Webbe Rebbe is a service of the OU, which provides advice and direction in halacha (Jewish law) and other matters of Jewish concern.

The Kashruth Division's Webbe Rebbe staff can provide information about the laws and history of Kashruth, OU Kosher policies and standards, and OU certified products, or investigate "illegal" OU's. We do not evaluate other Kosher Certifying agencies.

The Webbe Rebbe staff will consult with Rabbis, company representatives, or food technologists to best answer your Kashruth questions.

If your question is of a halachic (Jewish legal) nature other than Kosher, our staff will refer it to the proper member of its panel of poskim (experts) in Israel or North America.

Please don't hesitate to either email the Webbe Rebbe at kosherq@ou.org
or use the online form to send in your Kashruth question.
