AI Summary

  • Packaged kosher or kosher for Passover food must have a label or symbol affixed by the manufacturer, packer, or certifier identifying who certified the product.

  • Unpackaged kosher food or packaged food without proper certification must display a sign at the point of sale showing each item's description, certifying agency, equipment certification, certification period (not exceeding 12 months), and dairy designation if applicable.

  • Businesses selling both kosher and nonkosher meat or poultry must display signage clearly identifying which products are kosher certified, unless items are separately prepackaged with kosher certification labels.

  • Violation of labeling, signage, or identification requirements is a class B misdemeanor.

  • Presence of uncertified meat, poultry, or prepared food at an establishment claiming to sell only kosher food is prima facie evidence of intent to defraud; good faith reliance on supplier representations provides a defense.
