here is another example of an issue I've mused about before..
in the latest Rabbanut kashrut update, an old American Jewish favorite item is spotlit...
Recently, Stella Doro cookies have been imported to Israel. It seems this has been done without the authorization of the Rabbanut.
as you can see from the explanation, items imported without authorization of the Rabbanut could possibly have halachic issues such as "chadash", "pas akum", "chalav akum", bishul akum, or others.
So, if you have eaten Stella Doro cookies your entire life and/or if you trust the OU to certify your food as kosher, must you be worried about it being not kosher because the Rabbanut didn't give their authorization?
So, are Stella Doro cookies kosher in Israel?
