KASHRUS ALERT: OU and OK Kosher Release Kashrus Alerts

by Monsey.info

Two major Kosher Certification organizations have release important Kashrus Alerts after commonly purchased items have appeared mislabeled as Kosher.

The OK released an important alert regarding Snapple Fruit Punch, of which a limited edition of the 32oz Snapple Fruit Punch was labeled with the OK symbol in error and distributed in the NY area. The product is not certified by the OK.

The OU released multiple Alerts, regarding items from Popcorn to Hummus.

See a full list of alerts below:

32 oz Snapple Fruit Punch

Limited edition of the 32oz Snapple Fruit Punch, which is not certified, was labeled with the OK symbol in error and distributed in the NY area. The product is not certified.

Simply Popcorn

The Orthodox Union does not certify Simply Popcorn’s popcorn in bags. Some bags bear an unauthorized OU P kosher for Passover designation. This product is mostly sold in Massachusetts. Corrective actions are being implemented.

Sonny & Joe’s Hummus (30 lb.)

The Orthodox Union certifies Sonny & Joe’s Hummus as an OU Kitniyot product. Some 30 lb. foodservice containers were mistakenly labeled with an OU P mark, instead of the OU Kitniyot mark. Corrective actions are being implemented.
