OU Kosher Advisory Shibolim Gluten Free Matzah

July 25, 2024 from the OU:

Shibolim Gluten Free Oat Matzah contains 24% oat flour. Here are some of the halachos that one should be aware of: One should wash Netilas Yadayim but without a beracha The Beracha Rishona on Shibolim Gluten Free Oat Matzah is Hamotzi The Beracha Achrona on Shibolim Gluten Free Oat Matzah is Borei Nifashos (assuming that one will eat less than 100 grams of matzah [about 3 1/2 matzos] within 4 minutes). In the event that one does eat 3 ½ matzos within 4 minutes, Birchas Hamazon is said.
Does the beracha of Hamotzi said on this Matzah cover other foods eaten at the meal? If less than a kezayis of bread will be eaten at a meal, the other foods eaten at the meal require their own beracha. Therefore, if one is planning on eating less than 3 ½ matzos within 4 minutes, a beracha should be said on the other foods before reciting Hamotzi on the matzah. However, if one already recited Hamotzi, it is questionable if a beracha can be said on other foods. Because of the doubt, a beracha is not said. Foods eaten directly together with the matzah do not require a beracha.

Kashrut Alert: Member’s Mark Ranch Dressing and Dip

July 26, 2024 from cRc: :

Please be advised that Member’s Mark Ranch Dressing and Dip is certified as dairy and has the cRc-D designation on the label. However, a recent reprinting of the label mistakenly used the cRc Pareve logo. As such, products with expiration dates between 03/18/2025 and 04/13/2025 incorrectly state pareve rather than dairy. This product is sold in Sam’s Club and on Amazon. Corrective action has been taken.
