Dole Iceberg Lettuce Kashrus Alert

April 27, 2017 Leave a Comment

From Star-K via Kashrut.com (though I can’t find the quoted source at Star-K.)

April 27, 2017 – from the Star-K:

Due to heightened infestation issues, the availability of STAR-K certified iceberg from Dole is going to decrease for at least the next few weeks. Many bags will not bear the STAR-K symbol and they are NOT certified. Please advise your Kehillos and constituents to please check each and every bag for the STAR-K symbol.
Cabbage/cole slaw mixes seem to be fine, at least for the time being, but we are monitoring them closely as well and the status may also be subject to sudden change.

Important Coca Cola Kashrus Notice

March 15, 2017 Leave a Comment

From Cleveland Kosher:

Coke products produced in Mexico are being sold in local stores i.e. Marc’s. These products are not the same as the American product and are not certified nor recommended (with the exception of the original Coke flavor).

Important Message from the Vaad Hakashrus Regarding Recanati Wines

February 23, 2017 Leave a Comment

The following wines being sold at Heinen’s are product of the Sh’mitah year. It was produced under the leniency of Heter M’chira. The display erroneously states that the wines are under the certification of the OU. The OU does not certify Sh’mitah products that rely on Heter Mechira.

Tomer Brand Meat at Costco is NOT Glatt Kosher

January 5, 2017 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.
