SUMMER REMINDER
Summer Kashrus Reminders From the Kof-K
Rabbi Moishe Dovid Lebovits Summer time is travel time. Often we find ourselves in territory. unfamiliar The kosher consumer is faced with a number tiallyof p
problematic kashrus situations: restaurants, concession amusement stands in parks, ice cream trucks, and rest stop food m Keep in mind what to watch for and verify that what you purchase meets the proper standards of Kashrus. Kosher consumers must take the following steps: 1. Check for a kosher certificate. This is usually on the wall or behind the counter. Just e youbecaus know people who eat there or because the owner ”, looks does not mean the place has a good hechsher. 2. Read the kosher certificate carefully. Check what the certificate is certifying. Sometimes, a store will post a certificate for items that they sell. But t mean thatthat ssume thatyou the whole store is kosher. If the certificate is only for some of the items in the store and not the whole store, everything in that store is kosher. It may not be! Only those items that are on the certificate are kosher. mix isFor anexa item that comes partially prepared, like a soft ice-cream a cakemix mix. or The store owner will put the mix into hisinery own ma and finish preparing it. The premix might have a proper certification but the equipment used to for the preparation also certification. The certificate might state that the premix for a muffin is kosher but once the mix is poured and baked, into the the certifying agency does not take responsibility fors of thethe kashru finished product.store The itself needs Rabbinic ervision. sup If you see a food establishment which claims use only to ingredients certified by kashrus reliable agencies and have kosher icates certif posted attesting to the kashrus of the products being edsold in producing or us the food sold in the store, but does not have supervision on the entire store, beware!!!! probably It does not meet kosher standards. The KOF-K and most other kashrus agencies certify companies which have retail stores in multiple locations. nd T individual stores that request certification are inspected lar basis on a regu to insure that all the products meet our kosher sta However, when a store is not under certification but claims to be using “kosher” ingredients, one canproducts not be cer are indeed kosher. 3. Be sure that the certifying agency or Rabbi is reliable. Investigate hechsherim properly before relying on them. RavConsult who isafamiliar with the various agencies andards. their st 4. Once you know that a certif icate is only for certain products, make sure ichwh products are actually listed as kosher. It’s important to know exactly what is kosher in the store. For example, in a bagel store, the certificate might bagels andon the products only not the spreads and salads. Again, it’s important to read the certificate! If the certificate only lists re some products in that store that are certified. Be suresher that certificate the ko lists the specific item you want to buy. 5. If a food that you want to buy is in an open bin and not in a package with a hechsher on it, then you can onl food if the entire store has good kashrus supervision. If the certificate is only for some of the products in the store and entire store, unpackaged food in that store should be assumed to be uncertified. Sometimes, a store will andbuy a repack it in smaller containers tolksell. repacked Bu items should only be purchased from a store with a reliable ervising hechs the repacking. The hechsher verifies that the re-packed is from product a reliable approved source. Sometimes a store heir prin own label stating the original certification. It is necessary have a reliable to hechsher overseeing what has beenepacked in t With container. Consumers should only purchase loose products es which fromare storproperly certified by a reliable kosher age such certification, the kosher status of all products sold can be assured. 6. Food carts and ice-cream trucks someti mes advertise that they sell a “kosher brand” product. “kosher brand” does not mean that it’s kosher. Check the individual label of the productsif or theverify truck has a mashgiach and a reliable kosher ber: Reme A certificate. The vendor claiming that a food is kosher, g a picture or postinof the food you want to buy, is not enough! seller’s non-kosher equipment renders kosher items non-kosher. means that Thatkosher franks boiled in a non-kosher pot a kosher and neither are sandwiches from such a seller, thougheven they may say kosher style like pastrami on rye. 7. Do not try to judge the kashrusproduct of a by reading the list of ingredients. It’s easy to look at the list of ingredients on a candy or a bag of chips, for example and think that products you recognize and that know them to be kosher. But there are ingredients many that we can’t even pronounce such as additives, coloring and flavorings may not be kosher. Even if you do recognize all the ingredients, the product could be made on the sameorequip non-kosher food, rendering it not kosher. 8. Look for the hechsher each time you shop. Sometimes we pick up a product like a candy bar and thatfeel it’s sure kosher because we’ve seen the kosher symbol on this product before. But it’s important to check each time u buy! before Theyoproduct could change certifications, the hechsher have expired and the product may no longer be under supervision, or you recognize a similar company and think avethe picked up is kosher. Not all products made by a company sher. (For are ko example, a chocolate company can begin makin cream. Just because the chocolate has a hechsher doesn’t mean the ice-cream will too.) Remember! When you go into a new store, rest stop,concession, or food keep these rules in mind. Check for a certific and carefully read it. And when you buy a product in a store, always check for the kosher label. Know what you Reprinted with permission in your mouth!Have a Wonderful Summer!! 28
