KOSHER FAQS - FRESKO UNITED AIRLINE MEALS

December 15, 2021: From the Star-K:

In response to the most 'Frequently Asked Questions' we have received about the kosher status of FRESKO airline meals, we have prepared the following summary to aid the kosher traveler. Please note that the information below applies only to FRESKO meals served on United Airlines flights

.

CERTIFICATION: All FRESKO United Airlines meals are dually certified by STAR-K and by Tartikov Kashrus - Rabbi Yechiel Babad.

YOSHON: Yoshon status is noted on the ingredient panel. See sample label below.

Note that labels may change at any time and so it is important to check the label on every meal you receive. In general, do not assume airline meals worldwide are yoshon, so be sure to always inquire. Flights leaving Eretz Yisrael (with reliably certified meals) are always yoshon.

Kashrut Information - Trader Joes Mini Peppermint Meringues are DE

December 13, 2021 from the OU in response to the editor's question:

The Trader Joe's peppermint meringues are labeled OUD, but in fact, their true status, at the present time, is DE (Dairy Equipment).

What does DE mean? A DE product does not contain actual dairy ingredients, but it is manufactured with heat on dairy equipment. DE items may be eaten after meat, but not with meat at the same time.

Many products qualify to be DE but are labeled OUD because OUD is a less confusing symbol for the kosher consumer. Also, to be a true DE product, the equipment must be properly cleaned of residue after dairy production, and that level of cleanliness is sometimes difficult to maintain and guarantee.

Please note that it is possible that the manufacturer will reformulate this product and add a true dairy ingredient. You will not be able to know this, since the OUD kosher symbol will remain the same. We recommend that you contact our office every few months to reconfirm the DE status of this product.

KIND Snacks would like you to know that starting December 1, 2021, KIND Snacks is updating its recipe for KIND® Thins Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt to include peanuts.

In addition, KIND Snacks would like to highlight to consumers that KIND® Thins Caramel Almond & Sea Salt bars have peanuts, but KIND® Caramel Almond & Sea Salt Nut Bars and Minis do not.

Because product formulations may change from time to time and allergen profiles may vary across similarly named products, consumers are strongly encouraged to read the package label prior to every purchase.
