The Elite Kosher Shop is situated on the 2nd Floor of the JBC and is the only place in Singapore to find Kosher meat, chicken, and milk.

For those who rely on the Heter (leniency) of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein OBM, please note:

Local milk is not considered Chalav Stam. The only milk that is acceptable and considered Chalav Stam is the Pura Fresh Milk.

Kosher products are also found in almost every of Singapore’s main supermarket chains such as the Cold Storage and NTUC Fairprice supermarket chains, Tanglin Mall Supermarket, and Jason’s Supermarket.

How do I know if something is Kosher?

Certain foods, like fresh fruit, do not need a hechsher (a symbol indicating that a kosher agency approved a product as kosher) and many of these products are available in Singapore in the main supermarket chains.

Other products have a hechsher on the label or are listed on the databases that are maintained by the various kosher agencies.

Is there a list of what products are kosher?

Most kashrut companies include a list of their certified products on their websites. Such as the New South Wales Kashrut Authority, a great database, especially since many products available in Singapore are imported from Australia.
