Petition for Kosher Dunkin Donuts

Leave a Comment

Some community members have created a petition to encourage Dunkin Donuts at Cedar Center to become kosher. No word on whether the expectation is for cholov yisroel or not but first steps first.

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/kosherdunkindonutsforcleveland/

From David Farkas:

Thank you for posting. The petition, which has been enthusiastically supported since it was put up on Friday, is the first phase of our efforts. Once we have a suitable amount of signatures, we will IYH meet with the franchise owners to discuss possibilities, potential obstacles, and solutions. We will do everything we can to make it a reality. But the first and most important step is demonstrating to the owners the market share they can capture by going Kosher.
Signing the petition takes about 15 seconds. Please click the link to sign the petition today (if you haven’t already done so) and get your friends and spouses to do so as well. Even those who live out of town, but would appreciate a Kosher D & D for when they visit, should sign.

Tomer Brand Meat at Costco is NOT Glatt Kosher

Leave a Comment

From kashrut.com quoting CRC, COR Detroit, and Kosher Miami.

From Star-K (click on “November”):

There is a new line of meat from Tomer, which is certified by Triangle K and Rabbi Elimelech Lebowitz. Please note that this meat is non-glatt and is not on STAR-K’s list of recommended meat products. It is sold at various outlets including Costco and Wegmans. At Wegmans in the Baltimore area it is displayed next to glatt Kosher meat, and it is very easy to confuse the two products.
For more information contact info@star-k.org or call 410-484-4110.
