Western Kosher provides assistance with Kashruth supervision by certifying bakeries, butcher shops, caterers, restaurants, hotels, manufacturers or processors involved in producing Kosher food products for year-round use for Canada and the United States.

Western Kosher, formerly the Vaad Ha'ir of Winnipeg, provides its 120 licensees with the North American standard of kashruth – a standard adhered to throughout all of Canada and the U.S.

Western Kosher is owned Rabbi Dovid Jenkins, and employs local staff to oversee kashruth for Winnipeg.

To learn more about the transfer of Western Kosher, view our information release.

To inquire about certification, or for any other questions about Western Kosher, please call our hotline at (204) 487-9571 or email us at wk@westernkosher.ca.
