Shown by default: places whose hechsher is on the cRc list of recommended agencies and was confirmed on that agency's own list in the last 7 days. A listing hides by itself when that check gets older. Reliability reference: the cRc list of recommended kosher agencies (checked 2026-11-07). Places under other hechshers are behind the checkbox above, marked "ask your rav"; the cRc notes that an agency missing from its list is not necessarily substandard. This is information, not a kashrus ruling.
