Ed. note: Consumers contact Bimbo Bakery at 800-984-0989 to express their concerns about this loss of supervision and the change in the product formulation.
April 24, 2017 from the ORB - Updated Information on Arnold's Breads:
Bimbo Bakeries, which manufactures several brands of sandwich bread, rolls, and pastries, including Arnold's Breads, has reformulated at least one of their bread recipes. Because the OU does not certify dairy breads nor breads made on dairy equipment, the OU will no longer appear on many Arnold's items.
Arnold's dinner rolls, hamburger buns, and hot dog buns are manufactured on different equipment, are unaffected by this change, and therefore will retain the OU's supervision.
For a complete list of breads and other bakery products made by Bimbo, see www.bimbobakeriesusa.com/brand.
The bakery is responding to consumer complaints about the reformulation. Consumers should contact Bimbo Bakery at 800-984-0989 to express their concerns about the reformulation and consequent loss of OU supervision.
April 27, 2017 - from Kosherquest.org and Oregon Kosher Facebook page:
Due to several factors, the Kosher deli at Safeway, 8145 SW Barbur Blvd in Portland, Or, will be closing as of the end of the day on May 4th. The Kosher bakery and other aspects of the Kosher program will continue.
Oregon Kosher is working closely with Safeway to look into the potential of leasing the Kosher deli space to a private vendor.
April 25, 2017 - from the YeahThatsKosher with confirmation from the OK:
From the OK: Bravo Kosher Pizza is closing down at the 1367 Broadway address, and opening up as a totally new non-kosher restaurant, without the Bravo name, and a completely different style/menu. There will be a gentleman standing outside for a period of time redirecting people to the new kosher Bravo at 107 West 37th St.
From Yeahthatskosher: "With the opening of the brand new, much larger Bravo Kosher Pizza & Poke across the street on W37th street, it was only a matter of time before the original Bravo Kosher Pizza (next to the former Kosher Delight space on Broadway) would revert back to a non-kosher pizzeria."
"Bravo Kosher Pizza’s other two locations, the new one across the street, and the one on Trinity Place downtown will remain open and kosher."
