March 10, 2010 Several varieties of frozen fruits and vegetables under the “Nature’s Blessed” label, packed by Coloma Foods, Coloma, Michigan, bear an unauthorized cRc. They include Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Raspberries and Asparagus. These products, although kosher in character, were not checked for insects. The cRc does not recommend any attempt be made to check these products, other than the cauliflower, for insects as it is very difficult to properly do so by anyone not trained to check for these types of insects. Other vegetables packed by Coloma Foods bearing the cRc, other than those listed above, are kosher certified for year-round use but they are not certified kosher for Passover. Other fruits bearing the cRc are kosher for year-round use and are also acceptable for Passover if they are not cooked, are only sweetened with sugar and do not contain any other additives.
March 3, 2010 Sunkist Orange Float and A & W Root Beer Float were erroneously listed as approved on a cRc kosher certificate and the cRc website. These particular Sunkist and A & W products are not under cRc certification.
Please be aware that a special run of chocolates from Zelda’s was prepared for The Ark. As the ingredient panel shows, it contains dairy ingredients. The "D" was inadvertantly left off of the cRc logo. This product is indeed dairy and is cholov stam. This applies only to the run for The Ark.
Pepsi products that are certified kosher for Passover by the cRc have a “cRc P-10” on the cap of each bottle. Some of the wrap-around labels on 2 liter bottles of Pepsi products bear a “KP”. These are not certified by cRc, but may be certified by other local Kashrus organizations. Consumers should check with their local Vaad Hakashrus to confirm the Kosher for Passover status of these products.
