The Problem

Why this matters now

Checking if a product is kosher shouldn't require reading every ingredient on a tiny label. This tool makes ingredient research faster and easier.

⚠️

Hidden Ingredients

Non-kosher ingredients like gelatin, shellac, and animal enzymes hide in plain sight on product labels. This tool flags them instantly.

📞

Research is Slow

Manually reading every ingredient, looking up E-numbers, and cross-referencing lists takes time. This tool does it in seconds.

📱

Kosher Phones Are Left Out

Filtered smartphones with no app stores have limited food research tools. KashrutChain works in any browser with no install required.

2

Check the ingredients

We query Open Food Facts and flag any known non-kosher or caution ingredients in the list.

3

FAQ

Common questions

How does the product lookup work?
We query the Open Food Facts database — a free, open-source repository of over 3 million food products. We check the ingredient list against known non-kosher items. This is ingredient analysis only, not kosher certification.
Is this really free?
Yes, 100% free. The PWA requires no signup, no subscription, and no app store download. It runs entirely in your browser using free Open Food Facts data.
Does it work on kosher phones?
Yes. KashrutChain is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that runs in any web browser. It works on filtered smartphones, iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and desktop browsers with no installation required.
Does this certify products as kosher?
No. This tool only checks ingredient lists from Open Food Facts against known non-kosher items. It does not verify kosher certification symbols (hechsher), processing equipment, or handling. Always check the physical product packaging for a recognized kosher symbol. When in doubt, consult a qualified rabbi.
How accurate is the ingredient database?
We use the Open Food Facts database, which is crowdsourced and constantly updated. Ingredient lists may be incomplete or outdated. This tool is for research only — always double-check the actual product packaging before consuming.
