Product Alerts PACKAGES OF THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS WITHOUT PESACH MARKING were mistakenly placed in local stores’ Pesach sections. Check every label of your purchases for Pesach marking: • GEFEN MUSTARD • GEFEN ULTRA DISH SOAP LIQUID [Pesach containers bear OU-P. Non-Pesach containers bear a plain OU and state “Not for Passover use”.] CERES FRUIT JUICES, all varieties, are not Star-K certified for Pesach, even when bearing a Star-K P symbol, and they bear an inkjet on top of the container stating “Not for Passover”. NOVACART BAKING CUPS and MOLDS - A Kof-K Kosher certificate for Novacart was erroneously issued indicating that the following items are Kosher certified for Pesach: • OPTIMA BAKING MOLDS CBM SERIES • CARDBOARD BAKING CUPS • OPTIMA BAKING MOLDS • PM OP BAKING MOLDS These items are certified as Kosher for year-round usage, but not for Pesach. For any questions regarding these products, please call the Kof-K office at 201-837-0500 ext. 2106. YARDEN frozen FAVA BEANS mistakenly states (in Hebrew) Kosher l’Pesach “l’lo chashash kitniyos”. This product is kitniyos, and should say “l’ochlei kitniyos” (only for those who eat kitniyos on Pesach). SEASON SARDINES, SPRATS and KIPPER SNACKS are no longer certified for Pesach and do not bear a P next to the OU. (For year round use, check for the OU symbol; some old packages did not bear an OU and were not certified Kosher.) LAMERS DAIRY CHOLOV YISROEL MILK and CHOCOLATE MILK for Pesach can be identified by the letters KLP next to the Sell By date. Lamers does not have special Pesach labels, and uses regular year-round labels that list vitamins in the ingredients, and corn starch in the chocolate milk, but these ingredients are not used for Pesach. PRE-WASHED PACKAGED ICEBERG LETTUCE SALAD and COLESLAW require Pesach approval due to the citric or lactic acid that may be used in the washing process. All Star-K and OK certified brands, including Fresh Express, Dole, Little Salad Bar [Aldi] and Marketplace [Walmart] require a P next to the Kosher symbol. JOYVA PRODUCTS are Kof-K certified for year-round use, but not for Pesach, because they contain corn starch and corn syrup. They are therefore not recommended for Pesach, even when bearing the Passover marking of a different certification. 22
