  Many ORE-IDA FROZEN POTATO PRODUCTS are now OU certified, but only when bearing the OU on the label. Each package should be checked.

KIGGINS CEREALS sold at Save-A-Lot currently do not bear any Kosher marking on a number of varieties that previously did, such as Corn Flakes, Crispy Rice, Rollin Oats and Raisin Bran, and may be from non-Kosher suppliers.
