Stay away from anything certified by this "ruv" Steinberg.
So I was told by head/rabbi of one of the two main UWS hechsherim who certify a lot of Manhattan restaurants.
The Steinberg (Cup K) certified restaurants are IIRC all open on Shabbos! And Bens delicatessen is basically the same idea as Hebrew National... Not somewhere any frum people eat..

You'd probably even trust Rabbi Harry Cohen before Steinberg...

I dont think there is a problem buying coffee in a non-kosher store. However buying coffee from a store with this certification may come with a bigger maris ayen when people see the hechsher along with frum jews buying they may assume it is a good hechsher.

Thoughts?

I'm traveling out to LA and was wondering what the status is of KOLA kashrus reliability. Also, has anyone ever heard of Udvari Kashrus in Brooklyn? They give kashrus at Frappe N Wrap in Brooklyn, Riverside Diner and Stargelt upstate.

Planters peanuts sometimes have an OU, and someone's just a K. Anyone know why?

there are various ways of seasoning peanuts. In regards to dry roasted peanuts, since there was no oil in the roasting process, they would add gelatin to make the salt stick. Also since there is no added oil in dry roasted, they sometimes add the seasoning prior to roasting, creating a potential problem if seasoning or gelatin is not Kosher

Interesting. The packaging looked the same to me (same flavor) other than the hechsher but I may have missed something.

I know many people would consider anything with a triangle K to be the same a without any kashrus certification.
