As was noted by the Hakhel organization re this alert, if you find the symbol of a known Kashrus-supervision service on a product which didn't previously have such a symbol, you would be well-advised to take a few moments and verify that the service is indeed supervising the product.  For a list of contact tel#s and Website URLs for such services, please click here.

 

Please note that the current list moderator maintains a private mailing list for Kashrus-related messages (and posted this alert on that list as soon as it was received from the OU).  If you would like to join this private list, please respond to him.  Thank you.
