Feastables, a snacking company established in 2022 by YouTube creator Jimmy Donaldson, has successfully completed the kosher certification process for its chocolate products. This certification was overseen by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, commonly known as the Orthodox Union. Since February 2025, Feastables has begun distributing OU Kosher certified chocolate products in stores across the United States, with plans to expand into other countries in the near future.
The kosher certification process adheres to Jewish dietary laws, which impose rigorous standards on safety and quality control throughout the production of food products. This includes stringent requirements for ingredient traceability and food safety practices. Alexandre Zigliara, CEO of Feastables, stated, “As the fastest growing global chocolate brand, we want to ensure our products are enjoyed by as many people as possible around the world.” He emphasized the company’s commitment to meeting diverse religious, cultural, and dietary standards.
Feastables aims to have all of its products labeled with the OU symbol available in various markets. Consumers interested in kosher products are advised to check for this symbol on packaging prior to purchase. The rollout of Feastables’ kosher products is scheduled for different regions, including the United States, Canada, and Mexico in Spring 2025, followed by Europe and Australia in Fall 2025. Rabbi Moshe Elefant, COO of OU Kosher, expressed appreciation for Feastables’ efforts to make their products accessible to a broader audience, reflecting the positive response from the kosher community. Bryan Waddell, VP Marketing of Feastables, also noted the importance of catering to consumers who follow religious dietary laws or prefer kosher products for lifestyle reasons.
