- Every product bearing a kosher symbol such as (OU, OK etc.) or under a specific rabbinical supervision is under their responsibility.
- Products preceded by (D) contain milk and are not Chalav Israel.
- If a certain product is Kosher, it does not mean that other products of the same company are Kosher.
- If a certain product has a Kosher symbol or rabbinical supervision, it does not mean that thesame product without the symbol or supervision is Kosher. Some ingredients may vary.
- All of these products are Kosher for the whole year but not for Pesach, unless otherwise mentioned.
- Some of the products may be found almost everywhere. Others may be found at Keels supermarket, Colpitiya Market, Arpico and other big supermarkets (mostly in Colombo).
- Mehadrin (Glatt Kosher) is the highest level of Kosher supervision (higher than the basic level). Mehadrin Products are marked by star in the last column.
