Kosher Food Information for local and travellers
In Australia many Kosher food items do not come with a Kosher symbol on the packaging, yet are compiled into a Kosher book published by Kosher Australia based in Melbourne and The Kashrut Authority based in Sydney. The Kashrut Authority’s listing is available on their website at www.ka.org.au.
The two primary Kashrut logos you may find on products are:
| |
a) Kosher Australia | b) The Kashrut Authority |
The listing below includes some common Kosher food items from the Kosher lists which are available in general supermarkets such as Coles and Woolworths. This listing is only a selection we encourage you to look at the KA website (www.KA.org.au) for a comprehensive list.
