MK Yoshon Alert: Pita Royale

October 1, 2024: from the MK:

This year, Pesach falls on Motzei Shabbos, since we want to avoid creating crumbs in our homes during that Shabbos, for convenience purposes, many families generally prefer to use pitas as part of their Shabbos meals instead of Challa.

Please be advised that as of next week, Pita Royale’s production may no longer be considered Yoshon.

For those who wish, we recommend purchasing Pitas before Rosh Hashana, double-wrapping and freezing them in preparation for Shabbos Hagadol.

We are working on the possibility of extending Pita Royales yoshon production for a couple more weeks; however, to be on the safe side, we recommend purchasing the pitas before Rosh Hashana.

OU Kosher Advisory - Jelly Belly

August 18, 2024 from the OU:

Jelly Belly Candy Company
Issue: Jelly Belly has informed the Orthodox Union that, due to changes in one of their factories, Jelly Belly products produced in that location will soon no longer be kosher. There is no change in the Jelly Belly formulation, but because of production changes, other non-kosher products will be produced on shared equipment. As a result, all Jelly Belly products sold outside of North America will soon appear in packaging without an OU symbol. Some limited production Jelly Belly items (mostly seasonal items) in North America will also lose their OU symbol. All bulk Jelly Belly jelly beans sold in North America will continue to be produced under OU’s supervision, and most retail-sized varieties that North American consumers see in stores will remain certified, as well. Consumers are encouraged to check for the OU symbol on all Jelly Belly packaging before purchasing the products.
