July 28, 2022 - from the Kof-K:
Please note that there is meat from Argentina being sold with an unauthorized Kof-K and is likely non-kosher. The Kof K would greatly appreciate if anyone can assist in tracking it down the source of this meat and should please contact Rabbi Yehuda Rosenbaum at yrosenbaum@kof-k.org
June 16, 2022 from the OU in response to a question from the editor:
Hershey's cocoa 25lb bearing an OUD on the outer box is Parve. The label is getting updated.
May 24, 2022 from the Kof-K:
It has come to the Kof K attention that a small number of Bulk cases of shrimp, skinless flounder, skinless cod, and skinless yellowtail, distributed on the East Coast by Nafco Wholesale Seafood, were mislabeled with a Kof-K and shipped to Giant Food Stores Supermarket distribution centers. Currently the only Nafco product held by Giant Food Stores Supermarket certified by the Kof-K is salmon. The issue has been corrected, but any outstanding product bearing the Kof-K should not be used as kosher. This does not affect any retail items distributed by Nafco.
May 20, 2022 from the Keystone-K:
Dorot Farm produce is available in several local stores. This produce is generally reliable regarding the separation of Terumah and Maaser however they rely on the heter mechira during the shemita year.
The policy of the Keystone-K is not to rely on the heter mechira and to consider such produce as containing kedushas shevi'is (sanctity of shemita).
If such produce comes into your possession it should not be given away. It is recommended to leave it outside and allow it to decay. It should not be thrown in the garbage while it is still edible.
If you have large amounts or if you have used it while cooking, please consult a competent halachic authority.
Kosher certificate under heter mechira is here.
