+1 You can always email the Star-K.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

It used to be the only problem was pas palter/ pas akum. Nowadays there are many non kosher additives that can potentially be in the bread....
Bread in Italy was and is still made with pig lard

Has anyone ever tasted these before or have seen them before?
 I picked up 3 bags in Toronto, Canada and see theres a hechsher which i never saw before, and says dairy and non chalov yisroel.

  I asked someone about it and he told me that he did a bit of research and they are kosher as well as they are parve.
  Any other thoughts?

The Hechsher is Rabbi Feigelstock from Vancouver. Very high standards, very competent, and very responsive to questions/inquiries. http://www.koshercheck.org/ and/or http://www.bckosher.org/consumer/index.html
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I had Rabbi Mendy Feigelstock added to a whatsapp Kashrus group I am on. He is constantly being praised there (by members of other Kashrus organizations) for transparency, supervision standards, and knowledge (both in Halacha and in food manufacturing).

Is there really a bug problem with pineapples? I have no clue actually
