Here's [1] a good intro with some useful links, put out by the Orthodox Union. It's generally accepted by all but the strictest Jews in the United States. In other words, if the recipient is "Orthodox," "Modern Orthodox," "Conservadox," "Conservative," "Reform," "Unaffiliated," or even most "Ultra Orthodox" or "Hassidic," he'll (well, in your case, she'll) almost certainly accept the "hashgacha" (Hebrew for "supervision"). Most "Orthodox," "Modern Orthodox," "Conservadox," "Conservative," "Reform," and "Unaffiliated" Jews around the world will also accept the vast majority of the agencies listed here [2]. If you're not sure about something in particular, email me images of the packaging, and I'll tell you whether or not I can locate a kashrut symbol that I'd go for. (I'm "Modern Orthodox," so just about anybody who doesn't wear a black hat will eat anything I will.) - Dave [1] http://www.ou.org/kosher/ [2] http://www.kashrut.com/agencies/ -- Uncle Cosmo, why do they call this a word processor? It's simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food, right? Please visit this link: http://rotter.net/israel
