Kleinhouse Coffee Bulletin

September 10, 2024 from the Central Rabbinical Congress (CRC)
The New High-Quality Coffee from KLEINHOUSE COFFEE, produced under the CRC, contains micro-ground pieces of coffee beans that are roasted but not cooked. Therefore, one should be careful when using this coffee on Shabbes to ensure compliance with the prohibition against cooking on Shabbes. In practice, each person should consult their halachic authority.

FDA issues warnings to water company over mold contamination and infant formula producer lacking Cronobacter testing

September 9, 2024 from Food Safety News:

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently issued warning letters to Waiakea Bottling Inc. and Graceleigh, Inc., doing business as Sammy’s Milk, for serious violations of food safety regulations. The violations pose potential risks to public health, emphasizing the need for compliance with FDA regulations.

"n Aug. 13, 2024, the FDA issued a warning letter to Waiakea Bottling Inc., based in Culver City, CA, following an inspection of its bottled water manufacturing facility in Hilo, Hawaii. The inspection, which took place from Dec. 19, 2023, through Feb. 14, 2024, revealed significant violations of the Processing and Bottling of Bottled Drinking Water regulations and Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) requirements.

"The violations at Waiakea’s facility rendered the bottled water products adulterated due to the presence of contaminants like mold, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and various fungal species, including Aspergillus versicolor and Penicillium simplicissimum. The firm received consumer complaints about foreign material in bottled water, such as “mold,” “white blobs,” and “floaters,” with laboratory tests confirming microbial contamination. Despite responses and corrective actions proposed by the company, the FDA found that the measures taken were insufficient to address the identified violations.

The full warning letter can be seen here"

Kashrut Information: Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal

January 11, 2023, September 9, 2024 from the OU in response to a question from the editor and a reader:

The Cinnamon Toast Crunch is labeled OUD, but in fact, its true status, at the present time, is DE (Dairy Equipment).

What does DE mean? A DE product does not contain actual dairy ingredients, but it is manufactured with heat on dairy equipment. DE items may be eaten after meat, but not with meat at the same time.

Many products qualify to be DE but are labeled OUD because OUD is a less confusing symbol for the kosher consumer. Also, to be a true DE product, the equipment must be properly cleaned of residue after dairy production, and that level of cleanliness is sometimes difficult to maintain and guarantee.

Please note that it is possible that the manufacturer will reformulate this product and add a true dairy ingredient. You will not be able to know this, since the OUD kosher symbol will remain the same. We recommend that you contact our office every few months to reconfirm the DE status of this product.
