There have been some changes in the kashrus status per the cRc of Ricola products over the years. Aside from the special runs that sell at the kosher stores, some years Ricola (as sold in stores without a hechsher) has been approved for use and appeared on their list and other years not. Most recently it was removed from their list pending a more comprehensive examination. As of now, the cRc has concluded its review of Ricola, and recommends the following Ricola products even when not bearing a hechsher:
- Ricola Honey Herb
- Ricola Honey Lemon with Echinacea
- Ricola Lemon Mint
- Ricola Lemon Verbena
- Ricola Natural Herb (original)
- Ricola Sugar Free – Green Tea with Echinacea, Lemon Mint, Menthol, and Mountain Herb
This could change at any time so check the cRc’s literature regularly.
