Kosher Alert - Jelly Belly

December 12, 2025 from the COR Detroit:

JELLY BELLY PRODUCTS are Kosher only when bearing the OU symbol. Most retail-sized varieties sold in North America, and all bulk Jelly Belly jelly beans sold in North America, are OU certified. However, due to the termination of certification at an overseas plant, some items sold in the U.S. will not bear the OU, and there will be a mixture in stores of older product with the OU symbol and newer product without. Check every item for the OU symbol.


p>February 10, 2026 from the COR Detroit:

JELLY BELLY UPDATE: All Jelly Belly products sold in the U.S., both retail and bulk, are Kosher only when bearing the OU symbol.
Product made in Thailand with no OU symbol is not certified.


London Beth Din Kosher Alert - Jelly Belly

November 14, 2024 from the KLBD:

The OU have advised that Jelly Belly products p.41 are now coming in to the UK without the OU logo. These products are neither kosher certified nor approved
Only packs bearing the OU logo should be purchased.


OU Kosher Advisory - Jelly Belly

August 18, 2024 from the OU:

Jelly Belly Candy Company
Issue: Jelly Belly has informed the Orthodox Union that, due to changes in one of their factories, Jelly Belly products produced in that location will soon no longer be kosher. There is no change in the Jelly Belly formulation, but because of production changes, other non-kosher products will be produced on shared equipment. As a result, all Jelly Belly products sold outside of North America will soon appear in packaging without an OU symbol. Some limited production Jelly Belly items (mostly seasonal items) in North America will also lose their OU symbol. All bulk Jelly Belly jelly beans sold in North America will continue to be produced under OU’s supervision, and most retail-sized varieties that North American consumers see in stores will remain certified, as well. Consumers are encouraged to check for the OU symbol on all Jelly Belly packaging before purchasing the products.
