November 24, 2021 from the FDA:
Flagship Food Group of Eagle, Idaho is voluntarily recalling a limited number of cases of frozen cauliflower, TJ Farms Select brand, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The cauliflower was imported from China and the affected lot code and UPC are located on the back panel lower left corner of the bag. The impacted product was distributed in PA, TN, and WI. The recalled product is described below:
| Product Description | Lot Codes | UPC Code |
|---|---|---|
| 16 oz. TJ Farms Cauliflower | 2077890089 | 75544000604-3 |
This voluntary recall is initiated due to a single sample of cauliflower which yielded a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes in a random sample test conducted by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.
Consumers who have any remaining product with the affected lot code described above should not consume it, but rather discard it. Retailers and consumers with questions may call the Flagship Food Group Consumer Center at 1-800-292-9600, which is open 8am-5pm MST, Monday-Friday.

Dough Donuts Retail Donut Shops in NYC, Brooklyn, Queens and other locations.
Dough Donuts, New York NY
The Orthodox Union does not certify any Dough Donuts or Dough NY donut shops. The donuts sold in these shops were not made in an OU certified facility, and the shops are not certified by the Orthodox Union. Some Dough Donut signs bear an unauthorized OU symbol. If you see an OU symbol on a Dough Donuts sign or brochure, please provide the details to kosherq@ou.org. Corrective actions are being implemented.
November 26, 2020: From the Kof-K:
Cookies have been mistakenly labeled with a plain Kof-K symbol. These products contain milk, and are certified Kosher Dairy.
Corrective actions are being taken.

November 23, 2021 from the OU in response to the editor's question:
The Oat-ly Frozen Dessert are labeled OUD, but in fact, its 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.
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.
