Rabbanut Kashrut Update: Quaker Oats with Reform Hechsher

By Gldmeier @gldmeier

The latest Rabbanut kashrut update has an important ntoice that I think might be relevant to readers of this blog...
Markets are carrying packages of Quaker Oats bearing an unauthorized kashrut certification. The symbol on these packages is a certification given by a Reform rabbi. The packages are imported by Einstein Tzur Imports, and the certification on them says "under the supervision of Raavad (Rav Av Beis Din) Rav Yehoram Mazor shlita". (in Hebrew)
This is an unauthorized hechsher, and the product should be treated as such.
Quaker Oats packages imported by Diplomat Imports under the certification of the KF kashrut agency with the ishur of the Rabbanut are still perfectly fine.
Pay attention to your labels...
