About Us

Rhode Island Kosher (RIK) is the new Kosher certifying agency for Rhode Island. Established in 2015, RIK has become the premiere certifying agency in the region. RIK services more than 50 commercial accounts, including accounts for many of the nationally recognized Kosher certification agencies, which include the Star-K, Kof-K, OU, and KVH. RIK also certifies most of the local orthodox shul kitchens and a local caterer. Rhode Island Kosher is an affiliate in the KVH network.
We look forward to helping you connect to the rapidly expanding Kosher market.
