The primary purpose of the vaad is to oversee that the standards and systems that have been set in place by the hechsherim are workable and sustainable.

Our oversight focuses on, but is not limited to:
• Ensure that systems have been implemented for proper bedikas tolaim/bug checking. THE R.K.O.C. CANNOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACTUAL CHECKING, OTHER THAN ENSURING THAT SYSTEMS ARE IN PLACE.
• Ensuring that all foods are bishul and pas yisroel.
• Monitoring all cooking and baking logs.
• Accurate and updated bishul logs.
• Validating pilot lights and the overriding of the oven shut-off when necessary.
• Constant presence of a yid in the cooking/baking areas.
• Accurate and updated challah logs to ensure that challah is taken timely and properly.
• Systems in place to avoid בשר שנתעלם מן העין (meat left unseen by a yid).
• Protocols for leaving eggs, onions and garlic overnight.
• Clear separations in the kitchen between milk and meat, fish and meat, pareve and milk/meat products. We require clear and visible labels to ensure that none of the foods or utensils can get mixed up.
• Provide guidance, strategies and ideas to help improve the standards of kashrus supervision.

In the event that one of the reputable hashgachos feels the need to remove their supervision from an establishment, R.K.O.C. will also remove the business from their recommended list until they conduct a thorough investigation. If a new hechsher begins supervising this establishment, it will remain off the recommended list until the investigation is complete and the vaad feels comfortable reissuing their recommendation.
