GOLDEN RAISINS ALERT: Recent extensive testing by many kashrus agencies has shown an increased infestation issue specifically in golden raisins. We have not found a practical way for consumers to check them. As such, golden raisins not be used, regardless of the source, until further notice. At this time, this concern does not apply to red raisins or currants. It is recommended that red raisins and currants be purchased from companies/stores that have proper storage and quality control practices, and that they be kept in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight or warm, humid conditions.

QUINOA UPDATE:  ALL quinoa should be checked prior to usage, even when there is a hechsher on the package. Infestation issues arise from improper storage, which is beyond the control of any hashgacha. Most recently, Simpli brand White, Tricolor or Red Quinoa, with Use-By dates May-June 2026, was found to be infested.
