Consumer Kashrut Alerts


The following information on purchae of Chometz foods after Passover 2011 is from a number of sources. The stores listed are acceptable, unless otherwise noted . I have noted next to the name the agency that listed that store on its list of acceptable stores to purchase chometz products at after Pesach. Please note that for some stores such as supermarkets the distributors are different in different parts of the country. Additional information will be added as it is received. (posted on May 5, 2011).

Information is from the following sources:

National Stores
  • Baltimore, MD
  • Boston, MA (from Young Israel of Brookline)
  • Chicago, IL from cRc
  • Denver, CO from www.scrollk.org
  • Detroit, MI
  • Los Angeles area

    *1Baltimore Area, Effective Immediately through 5/24/11- from www.star-k.com/alerts/alerts-April2011.htm.
    There are a number of local stores that receive packaged items through a privately owned Jewish company which does not sell its chometz in accordance with Star-K standards. These stores include TARGET, SAFEWAY, SUPERFRESH and GIANT. Other stores may be identified in the near future and we will issue updates as soon as more information becomes available.
    TARGET, SAFEWAY, and SUPERFRESH: These stores receives many of their chometz groceries, baked goods and frozen chometz products from the aforementioned distributor. Therefore, the Star-K recommends that shoppers delay purchasing chometz items from these stores for a four-week period, through May 24 (the Tuesday after Lag Ba'Omer).
    GIANT: Likewise, Giant procures many of its packaged groceries and frozen foods from the aforementioned distributor. Again, shoppers are advised to delay their purchases of these chometz items during the recommended waiting period. Some examples of these products include:

    However, there are many products that Giant procures from a different distributor, which does adhere to Star-K standards in the sale of its chometz, and are acceptable. These products include: In addition, please note that all fresh-baked breads and buns with kosher certification are supplied by local vendors and are acceptable. Examples of these are:
    Giant, H&S, Arnold, and Pepperidge Farm: sandwich bread, rye bread, hot dog and hamburger buns.

    *2: Rabbi Belsky has arranged the sale of the chometz for C & S, the Jewish owned distibutor mentioned in the Star-K alert.

    Ed. note: Check with your local rabbinical authority regarding establishments in your community.
