Kashrut Alert: Kadosh Kosher Wagyu Brand Beef

November 23, 2021 from Kosher Miami:

The Star K has issued an alert regarding Raaw Meat Market, located at 18519 W Dixie Hwy in Aventura. While the store was selling Star K certified Kadosh brand Kosher Wagyu meat that was labeled properly with the Star K hologram, they were also selling what they were labeling as "Kadosh Premium Kosher Wagyu", but without the Star K certification and hologram. It has been reported to KM that the meat without the Star K is not kosher meat. See below graphic received by KM. If you have indeed purchased meat from the store without the Star K hologram, please consult with your local Orthodox Rabbi as to what to do with your dishes and pots.


November 22, 2021 from the Star-K:

It has come to our attention that a store in South Florida has been selling STAR-K certified and sealed Kadosh Kosher Wagyu Brand Beef in retail packages while also displaying the Kadosh name on other packages of meat that don't bear a STAR-K. Consumers are advised to be aware that meat items without STAR-K seals are not certified by STAR-K.

In order to protect Kosher consumers from confusion, STAR-K is discontinuing future certification of all Kadosh branded meats. For more information, please contact STAR-K at info@star-k.org.

Product was sold at Raaw Meat Market in Miami.

    Heter mechira carrots packed in sealed bags erroneously marked under the supervision of Badatz Machzikei Hadas (Belz). The order was given to have the bags removed from stores. Steps have been taken to avoid a reoccurance.

    Milk allergy alert: Tenta chocolate coins under the supervision of 'Igud Rabbonim' (UK), are mistakenly marked parve. They may contain milk.
  4. Link to the new English OU Israel Kashrus Guide for 5782 (2021-2022) is here It has a wealth of information in English regarding shmitah by the OU Israel rabbonim.
