Montreal, Canada – February 20, 2026 – MK Global Kosher Certification has announced new digital tools and service upgrades designed to make the certification process smoother for food producers in Canada, the United States, and international markets. As North America’s pioneering Kosher certification agency, MK continues to build on more than a century of work in supervising food production and guiding brands that want to enter the Kosher market.
The agency, founded in Montreal as “Montreal Kosher,” now certifies over 100,000 products worldwide across a broad range of categories, from ingredients and packaged goods to food service and airline catering. With roots in Canada and reach across multiple continents, MK’s team supports factories, co-packers, and brand owners that are seeking Kosher certification in Canada as well as cross-border approvals for export markets.
Recent updates to MK’s online platform include easier access to Kosher product search tools, consumer guides, and application forms for companies starting the process of Kosher certification. Food and beverage manufacturers can review basic requirements, submit details about their facilities, and connect with coordinators who help them plan site visits and next steps. These tools aim to cut down on back-and-forth paperwork and give both new and existing clients a clearer view of timelines and documentation needs.
The organization has also strengthened support for small and medium-sized manufacturers who want to align Kosher supervision with wider food safety goals. Through its Global Specialty Food 22000™ program, MK works with partners to help producers assess their current food safety controls, set improvement plans, and track progress in a structured way. This allows companies to pursue being Kosher certified while meeting global standards that many retailers and food service buyers now expect.
As a leading Kosher agency in Canada, MK reports steady growth in interest from brands that are responding to rising demand for Kosher products in North America and abroad. Market data on the site points to strong annual sales in the Kosher sector, with many mainstream shoppers choosing Kosher goods for quality, allergy concerns, or general trust in third-party supervision. This has encouraged both long-established brands and new specialty producers to look at certification as part of their growth plans.
To support this demand, the Kosher agency continues to expand its team of Rabbinic supervisors and coordinators, who work with clients on ingredient review, plant flow, equipment use, cleaning systems, and record-keeping. Site visits and ongoing checks are planned around each facility’s production schedule, with the aim of keeping regular operations running smoothly while still meeting strict Halachic standards. For many clients, this partnership approach helps integrate Kosher requirements into daily routines instead of treating them as a one-off inspection.
MK’s role extends beyond factories. The organization provides public resources such as a Kosher guide, blessing lists, produce guidance, and dining information, all aimed at helping consumers make informed choices. Regular news updates, alerts, and notices about newly certified companies keep both industry partners and shoppers informed about changes in status, seasonal issues, and product additions. This mix of industry support and community information reflects MK’s long history as a bridge between producers and consumers.
With many well-known global brands already under its supervision, MK continues to position itself as a reliable Kosher agency for both major multinationals and smaller specialty producers. The latest digital upgrades and program expansions are intended to make certification more accessible for companies entering the Kosher space for the first time, while giving long-standing clients better tools to manage their existing approvals and new product lines.
Food manufacturers, brand owners, and co-packers interested in working with a Kosher agency in Canada that understands both Halachic standards and commercial needs are encouraged to contact MK for more information about process steps, timelines, and requirements. Media Contact:
