    Kashrut Inforamation Kassia Potato Cheese Pierogies

    January 22, 2024 from the CRC Twitter (X):

    Look for the cRc-D symbol on the label of many Kasia's products. Note that the "D" dairy symbol may appear to resemble a "P", but this product is, in fact, dairy (not pareve), and is not kosher for Passover.

    Note on Twitter (X): "the bacon ones are 'not Kosher', even if your local store (like the one 5 blocks from the cRc) stocks them in the Kosher section next to the Kosher ones."
