December 2, 2022 - from Matzav.com:
"Agudath Israel of America is welcoming the new webpage set up by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Kosher Foods in TEFAP.
"TEFAP – The Emergency Food Assistance Program — is utilized by food pantries and food banks to provide surplus food to the needy. The development of the webpage comes on the heels of the agency’s recent outreach to the Jewish community regarding volume and nutritional deficiencies in the kosher food available under TEFAP and the subsequent expansion of the numbers and types of kosher-certified foods in the program.
"One particular discussion point included in the webpage emphasized the importance of working with community leaders and kosher food experts in making determinations as to certified and non-certified foods and the acceptability of particular items when questions would arise."
