Kosher Alerts and Recalls
COR kosher symbolRecall
COR Kashrut Alerts: - Fiera Foods Bagels, Sprinkled Cheese 452 gram bag. This product was incorrectly labeled with a PAREVE designation. The product is DAIRY and kosher certified. http://www.cor.ca/view/829/kosher_alert_cheese_bagels_manufactured_by_fierra_foods_are_dairy.html - Please be advised that Lynch Creamy Horseradish (as seen below) carries a COR Dairy logo in which the "Dairy" designation is small and hard to read. Consumers should be aware that the product is indeed DAIRY. The company is updating their packaging to ensure compliance with labeling protocols. http://www.cor.ca/view/828/kosher_advisory_lynch_creamy_horseradish_sauce_is_dairy.html Kashrut Alert - Lettuce October 17, 2017 - from COR Detroit and confirmed by the Star-K: DOLE ICEBERG SALADS AND OTHER BRANDS TEMPORARILY NOT CERTIFIED: The Star-K has advised that due to logistical issues that are preventing its Mashgichim from being able to monitor Dole Iceberg lettuce properly, it is not certifying any Dole Iceberg products at this time, and the bags therefore do not bear the Star-K symbol. The Star-K hopes to resume certification when the season changes and harvest operations move to Arizona, which will be sometime in November. This applies to Dole Classic Iceberg, Dole Shredded Lettuce, and also to several other brands such as Fresh Selections [Kroger], Little Salad Bar [Aldi], and Marketside [Walmart], which normally bear a Star-K. This change affects only Iceberg lettuce products. Cabbage and Coleslaw products remain certified, but only when bearing the Star-K symbol. Fresh Express brand Iceberg Garden salad remains certified when bearing the Star-K symbol. Kashrut Alert - Candy KOSHER / NON-KOSHER CANDY ASSORTMENTS: Many Variety bags of assorted individually wrapped candies now in stores contain a mixture of Kosher and non-Kosher candies. Some of these assortments bear an OU or OU-D on the back of the bag after the ingredient listings of the Kosher items. This has in the past caused confusion to some consumers who did not discern that the OU symbol refers only to that particular type of candy, and not to the entire contents of the bag. The Kashrus status of each specific type must be carefully checked. RECALLS: - Various brands of vegetable products recalled for listeria - http://inspection.gc.ca/about-the-cfia/newsroom/food-recall-warnings/complete-listing/2017-10-22/eng/1508707919591/1508707922482 - BSH Home Appliances ( Bosch®, Thermador®, Gaggenau® Kenmore ®, and Jenn-Air Dishwashers) Corporation Expands Recall of Various Dishwashers Due to Fire Hazard http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2017/64822r-eng.php - Edgewell Personal Care Canada, ULC recalls Playtex Mealtime Plates and Bowls http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2017/64530r-eng.php - Mattel Canada Inc. recalls Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Seat - http://healthycanadians.gc.ca/recall-alert-rappel-avis/hc-sc/2017/64916r-eng.php
