These are NOT KOSHER!
“Please be aware that ‘Bar One Ice Cream Sandwiches’ are NOT kosher,” says the Beth Din. While many Nestle products are kosher, this product does carry the hechsher but it is a mistake.
“We are working with the company to rectify this,” says the kashrut department, not indicating if that means getting the product kosher or getting the packaging changed.
The second kashrut alert relates to two products manufactured for Woolworths, which carry the Beth Din hechsher but are also not Kosher. They are:
- Ciliegia Mozzarella with Sun-dried Tomato & Basil 215g
- Ciliegia Mozzarella with Olives & Thyme 215g
Here, too, the kashrut alert simply says that “The manufacturer is taking corrective action to remedy the situation,” without saying if that means getting the product kosher or getting the packaging changed.
