KOSHER ALERTS
- Clover Mama Bake 70% Brick is now DAIRY due to the addition of whey powder, the dairy logo is correctly used on the packaging.
- Caring Candies Chocolates previously marked Parev should be regarded as DAIRY due to a change in the suppliers’ raw material. Chocolate products that currently bearing the Parev logo should therefore be regarded as DAIRY.
New packaging will be labelled correctly.
- Nestle chocolates bearing the BD logo and made in South Africa are still kosher certified DAIRY.
**However, various Nestle Chocolates are also being imported into South Africa from around the world. Unfortunately, Nestle chocolates from the UK are confirmed to come from a factory that is not kosher certified. For the Nestle chocolates made in Bulgaria, we currently have no information. Please be sure to check packaging on all Nestle products.
- Cape Town Beth Din has notified us that Theonista Kombucha Tea range is no longer kosher certified.
- KF Federation of Synagogues, UK has informed us that Higher Living Tea has not renewed their kosher licence, and therefore will be no longer kosher certified, current stock is still okay.
- A reminder that ALL frozen vegetables require a Hechsher as it is very common that they are processed through blanching or parboiling before freezing in order to maintain their colour, freshness and form.
