MO HB933

Repeals and replaces section 196.165 of Missouri law regarding the sale of kosher food products.

Requires all packaged kosher or kosher for Passover food products to have a label or symbol affixed by the manufacturer, packer, or certifier identifying who certified the product.

Requires unpackaged kosher products to display signage including the item description, certifying agency identity, equipment certification, certification time period (not exceeding 12 months), and dairy designation if applicable.

Requires businesses selling both kosher and nonkosher meat or poultry to display signage clearly disclosing this fact and identifying which products are kosher certified.

Violation of these requirements is a class B misdemeanor; presence of uncertified food at a kosher-only establishment is prima facie evidence of intent to defraud, though good faith reliance on supplier representations is a defense.
