Torah Rocket — Kosher Scanner

Torah RocketTorah Rocket • Kosher Scannerv6.6.5
ORTHODOX-FIRST • CAMERA + BARCODE + HECHSHER CHECK

Point. Scan. Check the hechsher.

This tool helps identify a packaged food and check its kosher evidence. It will never declare something kosher merely because the ingredients “look fine.” A trusted certification mark or verified product record is required for a strong result.

Fast North American barcode check

Scan the UPC/EAN. Torah Rocket first checks our verified kosher repository, then uses UPCitemdb and Open Food Facts only to identify the product when needed. Product identity is not the same as kosher certification.

Best on Android: tap “Take barcode photo”. Live scan is optional.

Package / hechsher photo

Take a close photo of the kosher symbol area. The photo stays on this device in this version.

No photo yet.
OCR [optical character recognition] is only a hint. A logo can be missed or misread.
I can see this hechsher

Tap the certification you can actually see on the package. This is stronger than an ingredient guess, but still check suffixes such as Dairy / Meat / Passover.

No symbol selected.
Other certification layers — beta

Kosher stays first. Halal and other certifications are kept separate because their rules, certifiers and community standards are different. This beta section only links to official/reputable verification sources; it does not convert a barcode match into a religious ruling.

How the result works

GREENVerified local productExact barcode is in the Torah Rocket kosher database with a trusted certification record.
BLUE / AMBERRecognized hechsherYou or OCR identified a recognized certifier. Confirm the actual mark/suffix and current package.
GRAYUnknownNo reliable certification evidence. Do not treat “ingredients seem kosher” as certification.
Important Orthodox boundary

Certification can change after reformulation, factory changes, or labeling errors. OU itself advises consumers to check labels regularly, and kosher agencies publish alerts. When the result matters or is unclear, verify with the certifier or your rabbi. This scanner is a study/consumer aid, not a replacement for a posek [halachic decisor].
