When a major East Coast wholesaler recently contacted CVAE with a last-minute request for over 15 pallets of private-label legumes, the first question wasn’t about price or delivery timelines. It was, “Are your products kosher certified?” Thanks to CVAE’s latest milestone, the answer was a confident yes. As a kosher food packaging company and trusted beans and lentils supplier, CVAE continues to raise the bar on product integrity and market readiness.
What Is Kosher Certification and Why Does It Matter?
Kosher certification ensures that a product complies with the dietary laws of kashrut, the Jewish dietary code. For many food retailers, distributors, and international buyers, having a kosher seal is a signal of rigorous standards in cleanliness, sourcing, and preparation. It’s also a powerful commercial advantage, allowing products to reach broader markets including:
- Jewish communities seeking kosher products
- Health-conscious consumers who associate kosher certification with higher quality standards
- Export markets where kosher labeling is a regulatory or buyer preference
Kosher food sales in the U.S. exceed $12 billion annually, and many large retailers require certification before listing new products on shelves.
CVAE's Certified Products
CVAE’s kosher certification currently covers products under the Celia’s brand, including:
- Beans (including pinto, black, navy, and more)
- Lentils (green, French, brewers, etc.)
- Oats
- Peas (green split, yellow split, black-eyed)
- Rice (brown and white)
This certification applies to both domestic and export-ready packaging, with flexible options ranging from 1 lb pillow packs to 2,200 lb totes.
A Natural Fit for a Quality-Driven Business
Kosher certification was a natural progression for CVAE. The company already meets strict food safety standards (including FDA certification) and was recently honored as Exporter of the Year by the SBDC. These milestones all point to the same core values: reliability, quality, and adaptability.
CVAE’s small but dedicated team prides itself on personalized service. Whether you need a co-packing partner for a USDA contract, want to launch your own private label, or are looking for a new source of certified commodity products, CVAE’s flexibility and speed can match your needs.
What This Means for You
Adding kosher certification to the mix gives CVAE customers one more reason to trust what’s in the bag. It also makes it easier to:
- Serve kosher-sensitive markets without changing suppliers
- Enter new distribution channels that require certification
- Assure end-buyers of high sourcing and preparation standards
- Reinforce your own brand’s commitment to quality and integrity
And because CVAE operates with a no-minimum-quantity mindset, you don’t need to commit to huge runs to get started.
