Kashrut-Related Lunchtime Ponderance

[gnomi]

Why does my Cedar's-brand hummus have two hechsherim (kosher certifications) (for the curious, one from the K-VH and one from the Star-K)?

For political reasons. Narf!

Wait -- the Star-K isn't a dude ranch?

Because they're double-plus kosher?

local and national heckshers, maybe so they have a more widely recognized supervision. That, or they're super-duper kosher.

battle of the hechshers....let's get ready to rumble....

They have to have some selling point to make up for how much better Sabra hummus tastes.

I favor Tribe brand. Especially their hummus with sweet roasted red peppers.

There are a lot of people outside of Boston who would not recognize the K-VH.

It does still seem odd, as I don't think I've ever met anybody who trusts K-VH but not Star-K.
