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
https://www.ok.org/contact/ choose Kosher in the Attention 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.
https://www.kashrut.com/Passover/
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.

Anyone have real info, not political, on Chabad Rubashkin shechita? You can PM me if you want. Is it Agri? Shor Habor? Lubavitcher and non shochtim? Weisssmandel? Crown Heights?

is the KOA Hechsher on krispy kreme donuts reliable?
FWIW, the OZNY list says its ok, though it might be that specific location.

They do NOT include koa in their list of 'Preferred Hechshers'.

Only AFTER that 'Preferred Hechsher' list, they include all establishments with 'orthodox' supervision.

What are you referring to by "Chabad Rubashkin shechita?" Agri in Iowa is no longer Rubashkin. It is under the LK (newly established hechsher by Lubavitch rabbonim) and Weismandel, with a mix of Lubavitcher and other chassidishe shochtim. There is also imported meat from Uruguay from Rubashkin which is under CHK.

I guess that is my question. An overseas shaliach told me he’s fully stocked with Chabad Rubashkin meat. Is that Agri or something else?

Confirm with him, but it's likely Uruguay.

There is a CHK schechita at Solomons. I believe Deren is schechting there. It's interesting how his name was on the VRL letter

100% cacao chocolate bar has an OK-d on it so I email them if it's really dairy or just DE. They responded:

Thank you for reaching out. This product is certified dairy and may contain dairy at any time. It may contain ingredients that are certified dairy. It also means that the company is authorized to substitute approved dairy ingredients into this product. This product may also contain dairy residue from previous product runs.

Where is there room for actual dairy in this product? Even if there was some residue wouldn't it be batul?

This is the product

They include milk as an allergy warning. I  just don't see where they have room for additives. Obviously I'm wrong though

You likely got a responses which is explaining what can be in general. Doesn’t mean it’s a real possibility in that specific product.
