The consumer should be aware that Israeli peppers are once again being sold in our local supermarkets this time of year and have been spotted at Costco. A proper separation of terumos & ma’asros is required before using. There is usually a sticker on the pepper indicating the country of origin.

Questions surround kosher hot dog stand at Progressive Field

The kosher hot dog stand at Progressive Field, a once-groundbreaking effort to serve the dietary needs of shomer kashrut baseball fans, temporarily closed last weekend – or at least is temporarily not under rabbinic supervision.

Rabbi Shimon Gutman of Cleveland Kosher said that there was a “glitch or mistake” in which the space was used during Shabbat. The stand is only supposed to be open for Sunday through Thursday games. He couldn’t say what it was used for, because he wasn’t there due to Shabbat.

Kashrus Alert – Sunkist Trail Mix

Leave a Comment

sunkistrailmix(Reader comment)

At Walmart on Warrensville this morning, in the fruit section to the left of the bananas, my wife and I noticed an assorted display of Sunkist trail mix packs with an O-K symbol. Some of the products in the line listed “milk solids” as an ingredient though there was no “D” as part of the kashrus symbol. We called the O-K hotline and were told that the O-K symbol on the whole line of products is unauthorized  – see forwarded message below.  Apparently O-K is getting inquiries about this line mostly from the Midwest area and we, and they, thought you might like to put this info into LJN.
