OK: No Kashrus Issues with Tropicana Juices

Allegations of insects being found in Tropicana Juices called their Kashrus into question, but the OK released a statement saying that in addition to no insect traces being found, an independent and knowledgeable posek stated that there is no halachic or Kashrus issues.

OK Kosher released the following statement:

OK Kosher stands behind the kosher status of all Tropicana juices bearing the OK symbol. In response to recent reports relating to Tropicana juices, the OK tested the juices and also had them tested by an independent and knowledgeable posek, and all agreed that there are no halachic kashrus issues.

In addition an independent laboratory tested the juices and found no traces of insects.

As always, consumers can rest assured that any product bearing the OK symbol is kosher without compromise.

  • what to do?

    Maybe the OK should take to Bais Din websites that spread malicious gossip about their products. There is one website that enjoys speaking lashon hara about hechsherim, mostly involving tolaim Also maybe there can somehow be an independent agency that supervises complaints about kashrus supervising agencies.

  • Living in a shlichus place

    Sorry, but juices that are 100% from fruits, with no grapes, and no problematic ingredients (written on the package) don’t need a hersher….
    Here where I live, I won’t be able to prepare food if I had to look for hersherim..

  • question

    should there be concern if the juice ws stored/transported in same containers as grape juice, etc.
