Please be reminded that Dole products are only OK certified when bearing the OK symbol ink-jetted on the bags per approved batch.
Only bags ink-jetted with the OK P symbol are certified for Passover.
A limited quantity of Dole Creamy Coleslaw Kit was mistakenly labeled with the OK P symbol. While the cabbage is approved for Passover, the enclosed sealed dressing packet is NOT approved for Passover. Corrective actions are being taken.
April 7, 2022 from the OK:
1800 Tequila, Casa Cuervo/Proximo Spirits has an unauthorized Use of OK Trademark.

April 1, 2022 from Rabbi Gershon Segal:
Kasia Cheese Bllinzes and Potato Cheese Pierogi are being sold in a Costco refrigerated case that contain Kosher for Passover refrigerated products. The way the “D” attaches to the cRc triangle, when looking at it from a distance, could be mistaken as a “P”. The items are actually chametz and contain flour.
Ed. note: This was in the Waltham Costco, but it is likely to happen elsewhere.
Please consult the OU Passover guide or check the OU Passover product search for a complete list.

הודעה
בעזהי"ת
הנני בזה לאשר שהסיבה בקשתי להסיר את Truffle oil מעל המדפים של החניות, אינה מטעם שנמצא בהם חמץ או קטניות, אלא שהתצמיות לא נתפקחו לפסח, האומנם שלפי המידע אין בהם חמץ או קטניות כלל. וע"כ מי שכבר בישול או אפה בהם, יכול להשתמש בהם בשופי, חוץ לאלו שמקפידים ביותר שלא לאכול שום דבר
מאנסי

לפסח שאין לו השגחה תמידי לפסח.
