Triangle K is a kosher certification agency under the leadership of Rabbi Aryeh R. Ralbag. It was founded by his late father, Rabbi Yehosef Ralbag.[1] The hechsher is a letter K enclosed in an equilateral triangle.
They supervise a number of major brands, including Del Monte, Hebrew National,[2] Ocean Spray, Sunsweet, Sunny Delight, SunChips and Wonder Bread.[3]
Minute Maid products used to be supervised by Triangle K.[4] Since 2013, the Orthodox Union has been providing kosher certification for Minute Maid products instead.[5]
Many Orthodox Jews eat only glatt kosher.[6] Triangle K continues to certify foods as kosher that are not glatt kosher.[7] As a result, Orthodox Jews will not eat food that is certified by Triangle K.[8]
The name K Meshulash is sometimes used in addition to the trademarked Triangle K name.[9] Meshulash means triangle, triple, or tripled in Hebrew.
