IMA Polska has been awarded a new kosher certificate valid for a further two years
IMA Polska has renewed its kosher certification for 2026/2027. The certificate confirms that the company’s production processes comply with kashrut requirements and forms a further element of the company’s quality management system. For procurement departments in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries, the kosher certification serves as concrete evidence of a process audit, which shortens the path from the initial enquiry to delivery.
Kosher certification as part of the product specification
Purchasing departments in regulated sectors – pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and the food industry – assess suppliers on the basis of documentation. Product quality is only relevant if it can be confirmed by an appropriate certificate. Kosher certification provides an additional layer of verification of the production process, operating alongside standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and HACCP.
The fewer open questions the buyer has, the faster the entire purchasing process proceeds. A kosher certificate eliminates the need for additional audits and clarifications regarding the product’s compliance with religious requirements. This is particularly important in the case of bioethanol and ethyl alcohol used as a raw material in pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing.
Kosher status in the context of a quality management system
IMA Polska regards the renewal of each certificate not as an operating cost, but as an integral part of the product specification. The kosher certificate forms part of the company’s portfolio of quality documents, which includes, amongst others, the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, the HACCP system and organic certification.
This approach stems from many years’ experience in serving clients in sectors where regulatory and quality requirements are particularly stringent. Every additional certificate is a guarantee that IMA Polska products meet the highest standards at every stage of the supply chain.
What does a kosher certificate mean for shoppers?
The kosher certificate confirms that the production process for ethyl alcohol at IMA Polska complies with the principles of kashrut. This involves the inspection of raw materials, production processes and storage conditions by an authorised rabbi or a certification body.
For procurement departments in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food industries, a kosher certificate means, above all:
- There is no need to carry out additional audits of the supplier regarding compliance with kosher regulations
- The possibility of using kosher alcohol as a raw material in products intended for markets requiring kosher certification
- Streamlining the supplier qualification process through comprehensive quality documentation
- The assurance that the supplier is subject to regular external audits
The renewal of the certificate for a period of two years ensures the continuity of kosher alcohol supplies without any interruptions caused by the expiry of the documentation.
