Please note that...
This is the first attempt to put together an extensive list of Kosher products in Greece. If you have any questions and comments, or if you find any Kosher product not mentioned in the list, please let us know so we can update the list.

In Athens, a new service was started:"Meals on wheels". A professional Greek chef prepares fresh, ready to eat Glatt Kosher meals, under the strict supervision of Rabbi Hendel. They can be delivered to you. For orders and more information, please call 0105202880 (Athens) or 0938563458.

1. Every product bearing a Kosher symbol (such as , , , KF, KLBD) or under a specific rabbinical supervision is under their responsibility. Local products were checked by Rabbi Arar or Rabbi Dayan. Imported products from France are approved by the Beth-Din of Paris, and imported products from England by the Beth-Din of London.

2. Products preceded by (D) contain milk. It is not "Chalav Israel".

3. The name of the brand is written in capital letter, and the specific name of the product in small letters. In the brackets, you will find the rabbinical supervision, Kosher symbol or, for some imported products from France, the EMB number that must appear on the package.

4. If a certain product is Kosher, it does not mean that other products of the same company are Kosher.

5. If a certain product has a Kosher symbol or rabbinical supervision, it does not mean that the same product without the symbol or supervision is Kosher. Some ingredients may vary.

6. If a product is Kosher, it does not mean that the same product made elsewhere is Kosher. Some ingredients may vary.

7. All these products are Kosher for the whole year but not for Pesach, unless otherwise mentioned.
