Who Emet is

Emet Kosher Certification is a certification body. A manufacturer applies; Emet reviews every ingredient to the plant that made it, inspects the production site, and — where the evidence and the ruling of its Rav HaMachshir support it — issues a certificate covering named products made at a named plant. It then supervises that production for as long as the certificate stands, and publishes the certificate to a register anyone can query by number.

It is based at 823 S Las Vegas Blvd, Suite 210, Las Vegas, NV 89101, United States, and it certifies manufacturers wherever they are.

Emet is not a shop, a supermarket, a grocery, a restaurant or a food brand. It sells no food of any kind. It has no retail premises and no products of its own.

In particular, Emet is unrelated to Súper Kosher Emet, the kosher grocery in the Polanco neighbourhood of Mexico City, and to any other shop or business trading under a similar name. They share a word and nothing else. If you are looking for a place to buy kosher food, this is not it.

Emet also holds no accreditation and claims none. Nothing in its scheme has been assessed by an accreditation body, a peer body or any other third party. What stands behind an Emet certificate is the authority of its named Rav HaMachshir, the supervision its scheme describes, and a public register that carries the suspended and the withdrawn alongside the valid.

Every Emet certificate carries a number. Put it into the register and you get its live status — in force, suspended, withdrawn, ended by agreement, expired, or never issued at all. The register is the statement Emet stands behind; a printed certificate is a snapshot of the day it was printed. Where the two disagree, the register is right.

There is no account, no fee and no form. Anyone holding a number can check it, which is the point of publishing one.

Food products, at every kosher status the scheme defines — pareve, dairy and meat — with the designations that go beyond a base status, and Passover as a seasonal certification of its own. What it will not do is certify something it cannot supervise, and that is a judgement made on the application in front of it rather than a category refused in advance. The requirements set out what a manufacturer must meet.
