Kof-K

Kof-K, a Teaneck, New Jersey–based Kosher certification agency, ^[1] is one of the "Big Five" ^[2] kosher certification agencies in the United States.

As of 2010, more than one third of all food sold in the United States has kosher supervision, ^[3] 80% of it from one of the "Big Five." ^{[2] [4]}
