Check Chabad


there's different kinds

I didn't have it by they say the Plain ones are Never made with Lard
there are colored ones or flavored ones

also you need to confirm the machine or way they make it has never been used for Lard also

I believe I asked my hotel and they showed me they had different machines

but I didn't understand the whole thing enough to eat it.
