Bimbo Bakery has decided to remove the KOF-K kosher emblem from many of their breads. The company is reconsidering the decision and concerned consumers should call (800) 984-0989 and let the company know of your concern.


Updated Information on kosher breads

January 24, 2019 - from the Kof-K: After an overwhelming response from consumers Bimbo USA has decided to remain kosher on many of the items that were slated for decertification.

December 31, 2018 - The following information is from the COR Detroit
BIMBO BAKERIES, owner of many brands of bread and buns, including ARNOLD, BEEFSTEAK, BIMBO, BROWNBERRY, FREIHOFER’S, OROWEAT, SARA LEE, STROEHMANN and others, plus many regional supermarket / private label brands, has made a decision to remove Kosher certification from many of its products, in order to have the flexibility to produce them on non-certified factory lines. Therefore, many products that in the past bore the OU or Kof-K symbol no longer do, or will stop certification at some point in the future. Every package should be carefully checked for the symbol on every purchase. Consumers can voice their concerns to Bimbo at 800-984-0989.
No changes are planned at this time for Thomas and Entenmann’s products, or for Arnold Rye Bread and Levy’s Rye Bread. They continue to be certified as in the past, when bearing the OU symbol.
