Kof-K led the way in the 1970s with making serious money from kashrut supervision. Then everyone else, including the OU, woke up to the possibilities of making big bucks from overseeing the production of food within the guidelines of Jewish law. The head of Kashrut for the OU now makes more than $500,000 a year.
Rabbi Avraham Teichman’s operation in Los Angeles grosses close to two million dollars a year from kashrut supervision.
The RCC grosses about a million dollars a year from local kashrut supervision.
