Kashrut alert - Supermarket repacked meat without certification labled as kosher.

June 9, 2020 - From the COR Detroit:

REPACKAGED MEAT PRODUCTS: The Kashrus certification of factory produced meat and poultry products is valid only as long as the original factory packaging and labeling remain intact. Once the package is opened and the product is repackaged by a local store, the original certification is no longer in effect. Reliable supervision is necessary at the store level to assure the Kashrus of the repackaged product. Repackaged meat and poultry products should not be purchased from an unsupervised store, even if the store label on the product lists the name of a Kosher brand or the name/symbol of a Kashrus certification.

As a case in point [Kashrut.com see below]: An unsupervised supermarket in NJ repackaged chicken wings and printed on the store label “KJ Kosher”. This was unauthorized, and the product cannot be accepted as Kosher.

May26, 2020 - From a consumer:

The Shoprite in Clark, NJ (town near Linden) has been selling repackaged KJ Chicken Wings in kosher section. These products are not reliably kosher becuase they were not repacked under the supervision of a mashgiach.

Buyer beware, only buy properly sealed, certified kosher meats.
