September 17, 2016 - From the FDA:
Koffee Kup Bakery, Inc., Burlington, VT has voluntarily recalled approximately 99,000 packages of its bread products due to the possibility that there may be clear plastic pieces in some products. The product recall is limited to the bread products listed below and only those identified by the “use by” dates 9/30/16, 10/1/16, 10/2/16 or 10/3/16, which are printed on the closure tags of each package. Products bearing other “use by” dates were not affected, nor were any of Koffee Kup’s crullers or donuts, which are produced on a different manufacturing line.
Koffee Kup discovered the presence of a foreign object in its bread and roll production through routine screening. The company ceased production immediately and upon further investigation, discovered that a small piece of clear plastic entered the stream of production and broke apart during the production process, thus creating a hard-material choking hazard. The company elected to commence an immediate product recall of all products potentially contaminated by the plastic that entered the production stream.
The recalled products were shipped to U.S. retailers in the states of VT, NH, ME, MA, CT, RI, NY, NJ, PA, MD,VA, and the District of Columbia. None of the products were shipped by Koffee Kup or its distributors to Canada or to other countries, to the company’s knowledge.
The following Koffee Kup products may be affected. No Koffee Kup products other than those identified below bearing “use by” dates 9/30/16, 10/1/16, 10/2/16 or 10/3/16 were affected.

September 26, 2016- from the COR Detroit:
KASHI CEREALS: Some varieties have changed status from plain OU (i.e., pareve) to OU-D. Each box should be checked.
Currently, all Kashi cereals that bear OU-D are DE (dairy equipment) status. (This refers only to Kashi cereals; not to other Kashi products.) Products manufactured on dairy equipment may be eaten after meat without a waiting period, but not with meat.
The OU cautions that even where it states that a product is DE, the OU does not supervise the cleaning of the equipment between dairy and non-dairy productions.
Please note that cereals are subject to frequent reformulations. It is therefore recommended that consumers check for dairy in the ingredient listing on every purchase, and also to contact the OU office at 212-613-8241 or kosherq@ou.org every three months to reconfirm the DE status.
September 26, 2016- from the COR Detroit:
WISH-BONE DRESSINGS currently have OU certification on only two varieties - regular Italian, and Robusto Italian. Additional varieties will be receiving certification in the future. Every jar should always be checked for the OU symbol to verify that it is from a Kosher production.

Rabbi Herman PRELIMINARY GUIDE TO CHODOSH - 18 Sept 16
"This is the final version going to the printer. You will note many companies and facilities that were listed as Yoshon last year are missing from this preliminary issue. That is because the mashgichim for those companies did not respond to our requests yet for confirmation of their hashgocho. We hope to have the lists completed for the final Guide due approximately in December. If anyone wants a PDF copy of this Guide, they should send email to chodosh@moruda.com."
