Consumer Kashrut Alerts

Israeli Produce Information

February 12, 2025: From the COR Detroit and the OU:

  • AM FRESH NORTH AMERICA GRAPEFRUIT sold at Costco are produce of Israel as stated on the plastic bag closures (and on the cases - "Jaffa / Mehadrin - Israel"), and require taking of Terumos and Maaseros.
    From the OU: When Israeli grapefruit, oranges and pomelos bear the OU, there is no need to separate Terumos or Maasros.
  • POMEGRANATES FROM ISRAEL are available in U.S. stores, and require taking of Terumos and Maaseros. Consumers should check the stickers on the individual fruit, or the original cases, for the country of origin. Pomegranates from most countries list the country name on the sticker; those that do not are very likely from Israel, and their original case must be checked in the store.

    Information on terumos and maasros can be found at /www.kashrut.com/consumer/vegetables/#TITHING
