Alkame Water, a US-based subsidiary of Pinacle Enterprise, has received kosher certification from Orthodox Union (OU) for Alkame branded bottled water products.
The Kosher Division of Orthodox Union is the largest kosher certification agency in the world, by managing around 400,000 products in 8,000 plants across 80 different countries.
Commenting on the certification, Alkame Water CEO Robert Eakle said that by successfully completing the OU kosher certification process, the company has shown that all of its Alkame products and production facilities comply with the strict kosher foods guidelines of the Orthodox Union.
"The addition of the OU kosher logo on all Alkame packaging will give us a competitive advantage that has been shown to boost market share, win more favorable shelf space, and when positioned next to a competing non-kosher brand, increase sales by up to 20%," added Eakle.
The OU kosher symbol also appears on about 60% of America's kosher certified foods, including Oreo cookies and Coca-Cola.
Alkame Water distributes Alkame branded micro-clustered, alkaline, antioxidant, and oxygenated bottled water utilizing a patented technology and patented formula allowing for ultra-hydration, which improves health, vitality, and performance.
