Tomer Brand Meat at Costco is NOT Glatt Kosher

Leave a Comment

From kashrut.com quoting CRC, COR Detroit, and Kosher Miami.

From Star-K (click on “November”):

There is a new line of meat from Tomer, which is certified by Triangle K and Rabbi Elimelech Lebowitz. Please note that this meat is non-glatt and is not on STAR-K’s list of recommended meat products. It is sold at various outlets including Costco and Wegmans. At Wegmans in the Baltimore area it is displayed next to glatt Kosher meat, and it is very easy to confuse the two products.
For more information contact info@star-k.org or call 410-484-4110.
