2023-3-26 Pesach Update PDF

THE FOLLOWING PRODUCTS WITHOUT PESACH MARKING were for a brief time mistakenly placed in the Pesach section at local stores (The Grove, Kroger). Check every label of your purchases for Pesach marking:

• GOLDEN TASTE SUGAR FREE BEETS & HORSERADISH
• GOLDEN TASTE SPICY OLIVES IN OIL
• SEASON SKINLESS & BONELESS SARDINES IN OLIVE OIL
• SUSHI MAVEN ROASTED NORI
• PASKESZ REAL CHOCOLATE CHIPS

CLARIFICATION of “GROUND MEAT and PATTIES” item in the PesachGram: “Patties” refers only to unseasoned patties. Seasoned patties always require special Pesach marking.

CERES FRUIT JUICES, all varieties, are not Star-K certified for Pesach, even when bearing a Star-K P symbol.

B’GAN frozen STIR FRY VEGETABLES mistakenly bears a P next to the KAJ certification symbol. This product contains kitniyos.

Due to an error, the MEAL MART DRY RUB PASTRAMI sent in the MOADIM L’SIMCHA FOOD ORDERS is not a Kosher for Pesach product, and does not bear Pesach marking.
