Cell Biotech, which has been ranked first in global exports for 11 consecutive years and is leading the globalization of ‘K-Probiotics’, has additionally acquired ‘OK Kosher’ certification to further strengthen its global competitiveness. With this certification, Cell Biotech has additionally acquired ‘Kosher’ certification, which is recognized globally, for 20 types of CBT Probiotics raw materials, and plans to further expand its position in the global market through this.
Kosher certification is a certification that follows Jewish dietary regulations, and is a system that guarantees that all processes from raw materials to the manufacturing process are strictly managed to ensure that the food is hygienic and safe. Among them, ‘OK Kosher’ is a certification with high reliability worldwide, and is recognized as a standard for food safety and quality in various cultural areas such as the US and Europe. Cell Biotech obtained the certification after 1 year and 6 months of examination through an on-site inspection and strict review by OK Kosher auditors.
In 2000, Cell Biotech was the first in the domestic Probiotics industry to obtain the ‘KO Kosher’ certification, and has maintained its reliability by renewing it every year. Based on this certification, Cell Biotech has entered the global probiotics market, including Israel, and its own brand ‘DUOLAC’ has been recognized worldwide for its product quality. The ‘OK Kosher’ it has recently obtained is a more credible authentic kosher certification, and Cell Biotech plans to further enhance its global competitiveness through this.
The global food industry estimates the kosher market size to be over $250 billion. The Jewish population, which is the main consumer group, is only about 13 million, but the demand for kosher food is steadily increasing in Christian cultural countries including the United States. Cell Biotech plans to increase the reliability of ‘Korean Probiotics’ through this additional kosher certification and actively promote export expansion to new countries.
In addition to this OK Kosher, Cell Biotech has various certification-based international standard systems. All products are manufactured in accordance with the standards of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), a leading market for Probiotics, and meet various global standards such as ▲GMP ▲US FDA GRAS ▲ISO 9001 ▲ISO14001 ▲HACCP ▲HALAL certification, and are currently exported to 55 countries around the world.
An official from Cell Biotech said, “Cell Biotech will increase the reliability of Korean Probiotics in the global market and strengthen its global competitiveness through the ‘OK Kosher’ certification, which is considered the standard for food safety in the US and Europe, beyond the Jewish law-certified food,” and “We will continue to comply with the strict global standards and apply our own strict standards that consumers can trust, and do our best to secure the health and trust of people around the world.”
