Good to know
Answers come from the JRA directory, which is checked against each place's own website, its kashrus agency's list and public registers. Always confirm the hechsher and the times with the place or your rav. JRA does not give halachic rulings.
Kosher listings say which agency lists them and the date the list was last checked. A place drops off when its agency drops it.
Privacy: we do not sell or share phone numbers. Your number is turned into a code so MORE and 1-3 work, and that is erased after one hour. We keep only a daily count of how many texts and calls came in.
Wrong information? Text FIX with the name and what is wrong, or use the correction link on the listing's page.
