June 10 2021 from Bubbie's Market, Providence, RI & Rhode Island Kosher
From Bubbies Market & Deli: "Bubbies Market and Deli is saddened to announce that the community has been unable to secure a full time Moshgiach Temidi for our new store. While we are disheartened by this news, we would like to make clear what our own policy and standards will be while we wait for a Moshgiach to be hired and trained:
"While we are saddened by this unfortunate situation, we are confident in what we are providing to our consumers is a kosher standard equal to that of an Orthodox, Shomer Shabbat, Shomrei Mitzvot, Yotzei V’Nichnas standard in the absence of Moshgiach Temidi."
"All questions can be referred to Bubbies Market and Deli at 401-272-4835." Bubbiesmarket@yahoo.com
From Rhode Island Kosher: At this time Rhode Island Kosher is not certifying anything unless it is sealed with our certification on it.
June 3, 2021 from the Chief Rabbinate Religious Council Jerusalem:
Rough Translation: Letter to Chiba Bakery in Jerusalem from the Rabbanut informing them they're losing hashgacha effective immediately due to numerous flaws -- bugs in the flour, no receipts to show where ingredients were bought, parve/milchigs dishes being mixed, mashgiach hasn't been paid in months.
June 10, 2021: From the South African Beth Din in response to a question from a reader:
Jelly Tots, unfortunately, are still NOT kosher. Only very old stock bearing the BD logo on the actual little packets are okay. The outer box bearing the BD logo is also NOT okay. Going forward, the company has endeavoured to cover the BD logo with stickers before the boxes leave the factory.
October 18, 2020: From the Beth Din of Johannesburg:
We have received new information from Tiger Brands that produces Jelly Tots. They have recently introduced grape juice into some of the variations of Jelly Tots which is a non-kosher ingredient.
Therefore, please note, that Jelly Tots requires a kosher logo and any variation without a kosher logo is not kosher certified.
We are working together with the company to find a possible alternative solution going forward.
June 8, 2021 from FDA:
Beech-Nut Nutrition today has issued a voluntary recall of one lot of Beech-Nut Stage 1, Single Grain Rice Cereal. This recall is a result of a routine sampling program by the State of Alaska which found that samples from that production lot of Beech-Nut Stage 1, Single Grain Rice Cereal tested above the guidance level for naturally occurring inorganic arsenic set by the FDA in August 2020, though the rice flour used had been tested and confirmed as being below the FDA guidance level for inorganic arsenic.
FDA has recognized that trace elements such as these are widely present in the environment, including water, soil and food; and has also stated that exposure to elevated levels of naturally occurring inorganic arsenic can pose a health hazard to young children.
The specific Beech-Nut Single Grain Rice item (UPC Code# 52200034705) being recalled has an expiration date of 01MAY2022 and product codes: 103470XXXX and 093470XXXX. The expiration date and product numbers can be found at the bottom of the Beech-Nut Single Rice Cereal canister. These specific product codes were distributed nationally through retail and online.
In addition to issuing the voluntary recall, Beech-Nut has also decided to exit the market for Beech-Nut branded Single Grain Rice Cereal. Beech-Nut is concerned about the ability to consistently obtain rice flour well-below the FDA guidance level and Beech-Nut specifications for naturally occurring inorganic arsenic.
Consumers who may have purchased Beech-Nut Rice Cereal with product codes: 103470XXXX and 093470XXXX with expiration of 01MAY2022 should discard the product. They can also go to www.beechnut.com/ricecereal, or call 1-866-272-9417, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for further information on obtaining an exchange or refund.
