Why should it, since no one claimed it.

Obviously. They are hired to perform a service for which they earn a fee.
Exactly the same.
So we can expect that you will turn your skepticism toward these other kinds
of service arrangements, correct? Or is it only Jewish services you care
about?

Well, then let's hear it about other service firms, "Seneca".

Witch hazel can be consumed.

Ah, they allow themselves to be squeezed!
Let's see, thousands of companies produce 90,000 Kosher products in almost
10,000 plants across the country because they are knowinly squeezed. Sure
"Seneca".

Well, if you don't know what the reasons are, then your claim that they are
squeezed can be attributed to your desire to malign Jews.

Mine?
Look at the assault on logic you just engaged in. Tell us how broccoli is
like Jews, eh "Seneca"?

But you are wrong. Which is why you haven't explained how it is different.

What service do Catholic organizations perform for businesses?
Muslim? Protestant? Buddhist? HIndu? Zoroastrian?
What services do these religions perform for businesses?

What services do they perform for businesses?

Symbols of what?
So you see, you don't have the first clue about Kosher certification, and
yet you are prepared to mouth off such a string of imbecilities as would
embarrass someone with the courage to post under their own name.
