July 18, 2018 from the Kof-K:
A limited number of bags for Schmidt Baking Butterbread were inadvertently printed with an unauthorized KOF-K logo on this product’s packaging. The KOF-K does not certify dairy bread and the use of the KOF-K was a mistake that the company has immediately corrected.
July 16, 2018 from the Vaad of Denver:
Some Sprouts Market Corner breads bear an unauthorized Scroll K certification and are NOT certified.
Packages with the information and the Scroll K symbol printed directly on the packaging ARE kosher certified.
