Every hashgacha has +&-.


You can also submit any kashrus questions at
https://www.askcrc.org/ask
https://oukosher.org/ask-kosher-question/
https://www.star-k.org/ask-rabbi choose General Consumer Kashrus Questions in the Subject/Topic Dropdown list

From now till Pesach thousands of Q’s will be coming in. The attached excerpts and links from Pesach guides of various National Hashgachos can answer 90+%  of the Q’s coming in.

In addition, the cRc Chicago just put out an amazing app with a Pesach section (and an ability to scan a hechsher!). You can also visit Askcrc.org , check of the Pesach box and search their data base.
The OU app also has a lot of Pesach info at your fingertips.

Juices –
• Apple, Cranberry, Grapefruit, Orange, and
Pineapple-
o Shelf stable, requires reliable
certification.
o Refrigerated, fresh or from concentrate,
does not require certification provided
that they contain only juice, ascorbic
acid, citric acid, corn syrup, high fructose
corn syrup, salt, sugar, water. If there are
added ingredients, such as flavorings,
colors, grape juice or glycerin, a reliable
certification is necessary. However, we
recommend that you purchase juices that
do bear reliable certification, since
changes in ingredients or production
procedures can take place at any time.
(Please note: these items are likely
produced on dairy equipment.)

I miscomprehended. I read it as all juice except tomato, prune and grape. But I missed a line.

Dallas Kosher says that any 100% grape juice free juice is fine bedieved (no hechsher available). I'll try tind the link - it's on their website somewhere.

I'm reiterating that I was wrong. Do not rely on this!!!

Is Rab Yitzchak Mohadeb from Congregation Yam Hatorah reliable? He supervises Alony Glatt, which is based in Florida. This shul is based in Brooklyn, which makes the superivision a little suspicious to me.

Are they serving sefardi only meet?

There's a buffalo shechita (Lchaim OG's) under the OU that uses some weird sefardi hechsher for the hindquarters.

Some of their meat is Bet Yosef, but they apparently also carry other (reliable) hashgachot. Either way, I'm asking because their pricing seems to be pretty good compared to 5T pricing (but not suspiciously low).

I have a recording. I will try to upload and post it later. It was filmed and I think they are posting the video online.
