August 14, 2024 - from the London Beth Din in response to a question from the editor:

Kendamil Organic and Kendamil Goat Infant Formula (pictures below), which are sold in the USA are now certified KLBD Dairy, no logo.

These are the only USA products that are currently certified.

November 23, 2023 - from the London Beth Din in response to a question from the editor:

This is a change since last year.

We would now advise that none of the Kendamil products which are currently sold in the US are KLBD certified.

The KLBD certified UK products are not available in the USA but they can be ordered from www.koshertrader.co.uk

October 27, 2022 - from the London Beth Din in response to a question from the editor:

Kendamil First Infant, Follow on and Toddler Milks are KLBD certified Dairy even if they do not have the logo.

June 15, 2022 - from the London Beth Din in response to a question from the editor:

The Kentamil products shown below have now been Kosher certified by KLBD Dairy have now been certified by KLBD as DAIRY (not Cholov Yisroel) ( KLBD-D, similar to OU-D) and will be sold in the USA due to formula shortage.
