May 5, 2021: From the New Jersey Bureau of Kosher Enforcement:
The New Jersey Bureau of Kosher Enforcement has become aware of various websites offering kosher gifts however these sites substitute non-kosher items in place of kosher. The problem is in their by-laws and on the site itself it states "We have the right to make Substitutions" so as they say CAVEAT EMPTOR one should be very careful when ordering kosher from general websites without making SURE that a NON-Kosher item will not be substituted.

Translated by Google translate: A series of melted cheese products was marketed in supervised supermarkets, manufactured at the Hadaf Food Industries Alles factory in the United Arab Emirates, and imported by Euro Dairies Europe Ltd. (Gold Frost Ltd.) and presented as kosher under the supervision of Maor Kashruth and approved by the Rabbi of Israel. These products did not receive the approval of the Rabbi of Israel and even the request for kosher for them was denied, so they must be removed from the shelves of kosher supermarkets and returned to the supplier.
