PAS YISROEL: The K-COR wishes to remind the Kosher consumer of the accepted custom to be stringent on Pas Yisroel during Aseres Yemei T’shuva. Please be advised that many K-COR certified establishments produce or sell some bread and cake products that are not Pas Yisroel. Please ask the Mashgiach or call the K-COR office for details regarding specific establishments.
FOOD FOR LIFE EZEKIEL SPROUTED GRAIN BREADS with the Kof-K symbol are Pas Yisroel. The Pocket Bread, however, is not Pas Yisroel.
Due to an equipment failure, the following cookies that are normally OK certified as Pas Yisroel, are actually not Pas Yisroel:

August 30, 2020: From the COR Detroit:
Season Brisling Sardines and Sprats – Products of Latvia: These products were previously OU-P certified. Due to Covid-19 related challenges, these products were produced as non-Kosher and the OU has been removed. There may be OU and non-OU product available in the market simultaneously. Carefully check each package for the OU symbol.
August 7, 2020: From the OU:
Season Sardines - Product of Morocco, Season Brand Products:
This product was previously OUP certified (Kosher for Passover) year round. Due to logistical considerations related to COVID-19 work and travel restrictions, this product will be certified OU for year round use. Prior to Passover, an additional quantity of OUP product may be produced. There may be OU and OUP product available in the market simultaneously. When purchasing, consumers should always check for the kosher symbol on the products, and not rely on familiarity of the product.

August 30, 2020 from the COR Detroit:
OVK IN AN OVAL is the new Kashrus symbol of the Vaad Hoeir of St. Louis. The former OV symbol (V in a circle) was replaced, because some non-Kosher products bear that symbol to indicate Vegan or Vegetarian. However, some Vaad Hoeir certified products are still using the old OV symbol. To verify whether or not an OV symbol on a particular product is a Kashrus symbol, contact the Vaad Hoeir of St. Louis at 314-569-2770 or at information@ovkosher.org .
The OV symbol on some Campbell’s Slow Kettle Style and Well Yes! bisques and soups is used to indicate Vegan or Vegetarian. These are not Kosher products.
October 31, 2019 from the Atlanta Kosher Commission:
The Circle-V symbol is nearly identical to the symbol used to indicate that a product is vegan. This has caused much confusion so The Vaad Hoeir of St. Louis is modifying its kosher symbol. The new logo will be an OVK in an oval. Consumers may notice the new symbol on some Publix Salad Greens.
September 7, 2017 from the Vaad Hoeir of St. Louis:
To avoid confusion, the OV is changing their kosher symbol since their current OV sybol is also being used to stand for vegan products.
Letteer from the OV is here.
August 30, 2020: From the COR Detroit:
TOOTSIE DOTS ASSORTED FRUIT FLAVORED GUMDROPS in small Mini Boxes (“Mini-Dots”) do not bear an OU on their individual boxes, but they are nonetheless certified OU and pareve, even if the outer bag of the variety pack bears an OU-D.
(The D is due to the other Tootsie candies in the variety pack.)
August 30, 2020: From the COR Detroit:
TIC TAC MINTS CANDIES are produced at many plants and in many flavors, and not all are Kosher. Each individual container should be checked for reliable certification (a small OU on the top left of the 1 oz. containers).
February 27, 2018: From the COR Detroit:
TIC TAC MINTS CANDIES are produced at many plants and in many flavors, and not all are Kosher. Even the same flavor can be found in stores with an OU on some containers, and no certification on others. Each individual container should be checked for reliable certification. - Please be aware that new TIC TAC GUM candies, which look the same as the mints candies and are sold in the same type of dispenser containers, are not Kosher and bear no Kosher marking.
December 11, 2017: From the editor: Tic Tacs are now certified as kosher by the Orthodox Union when bearing the OU symbol.

August 27, 2020 - London Beth Din update:
Some information from the LONDON BETH DIN UPDATE AUGUST 2020 follows:
August 26, 2020 from the FDA:
B&G Foods announced today it is voluntarily recalling 1,502 cases of a single date code of 6 oz. Back to Nature Organic Rosemary & Olive Oil Stoneground Wheat Crackers, with a “best by” date of APR 07 2021, after learning that the product may contain undeclared milk ingredients.
This recall affects only 1,502 cases of the following product, which were distributed in retail stores nationwide:
| Consumer UPC # | Size | Best By Date | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Back to Nature Organic Rosemary & Olive Oil Stoneground Wheat Crackers | 8-19898-01015-8 | 6 oz. | APR 07 2021 (The “best by" date is located on the top of the box.) |
This recall does not apply to any other “best by” dates, sizes or varieties of Back to Nature products.
B&G Foods discovered this issue when it received a consumer complaint that the foil bag within a single box of Back to Nature Organic Rosemary & Olive Oil Stoneground Wheat Crackers contained cheese crackers. B&G Foods initiated the recall based on the results of its investigation after locating a second box in its warehouse with the same “best by” date that was inadvertently filled with a foil bag of cheese crackers, potentially exposing consumers to undeclared milk. The foil bags do correctly indicate whether the crackers are rosemary & olive oil crackers or cheese crackers and the outer box provides an allergen advisory statement indicating that the product is “Made on the same equipment that processes milk.” However, out of an abundance of caution, B&G Foods is recalling all 1,502 cases with this particular “best by” date that have been shipped to its customers. Product with this particular “best by” date was shipped and distributed by B&G Foods to its customers' warehouses located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Maryland, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin.
Consumers who have purchased the recalled products can return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers seeking a refund or additional information may also contact B&G Foods by calling 855.346.2225 Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern time or submitting a contact at https://backtonaturefoods.com/contact-us
