Kashrus Alert: Select Runs Of Trader Joes Babka NOT Pas Yisroel

Trader Joes Babka is Kosher certified under the OU, and is also generally Pas Yisroel. In a recent series of runs though, this was not the case.

“As has been the case for many years, the Trader Joe’s babkas continue to meet the Pas Yisroel requirements as listed on the Pas Yisroel list,” the OU wrote in a Kosher Alert to the Jewish community. “However, this year due to temporary changes in production schedules, Trader Joe’s babkas whose packaging bear the following date codes are not Pas Yisroel: October 21, October 22, October 29, October 30, November 4, November 5, November 6, November 7, November 10, November 11, November 12.”

All other date codes of Trader Joe’s babka products are Pas Yisroel.
