“TO BE KOSHER OR NOT TO BE
KOSHER - THAT IS THE QUESTION”
Recently, the lesson plan for the day for my 7th grade
Tuesday Afternoon Religious School class wasLThe Dietary
Laws.” I was explaining to the class that the “ (u) ’’stood for
“Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregation” and was a symbol
indicating that the product was kosher. I also indicated that
the“ (k) ’’sign was also a symbol indicating that the product
was kosher. I told the students that there were many different
kosher symbols, and the following week I brought them a flyer
with all the different kosher signs.
However, one of the students said to me, “Rabbi, I eat
Kellogg breakfast cereals all the time. Why is it that some of
them have a “K” on them while others do not? Also, what does
the “K” on Kellogg cereals mean. It is not the “ (k) ”, the
“circle K.” It is only a “K,” a “plain K.”
I did not know the answer so I wrote to Kellogg and several
weeks later I received a reply. Allow me to share it with you.
“The “K” symbol represents “Kosher.” The Kashrut of
Kellogg products is supervised by the Rabbinical Council of
New England (80 Boylston St., Boston, MA 02116). [It is an
Orthodox supervision.]”
I was told that all Kellogg products with a “K” on them are
kosher. However, Kellogg dpes produce several non-kosher
products but the non-kosher products do not come in contact in
any way or form with the kosher products. Kellogg’s Frosted
Pop-Tarts, Fruity Marshmallow Krispies, and Frosted Mini-
Wheats contain beef products and therefore are uot kosher,
but, as stated before, none of the equipment which comes in
contact with these products is used in the production of other
kosher products marked with a “K.”
Kellogg’s listed for me its parve, non-dairy, products and
also its kosher dairy products.
The following 3 lists were sent to me: #1 is parve; #2 is dairy
#3 is dairy.
List #1: Kellogg’s All-Bran, All-Bran With Extra Fiber,
Apple Cinnamon Squares, Blueberry Squares, Bran Buds,
Bran Flakes, Common Sense, Corn Flakes, Corn Flakes
Crumbs, Corn Pops, Crispix, Fruitful Bran, Honey Smacks,
Just Right Nugget & Flake, Just Right Fruit, Nut & Flake,
Mueslix Bran, Mueslix Five Grain, Nutrifix Oatmeal Flake,
Nutri-Grain Almond Raisin, Nutri-Grain Corn, Nutri-Grain
Biscuits, Nutri-Grain Wheat, Nutri-Grain Wheat & Raisins,
Product 19, Raisin Bran, Raisin Squares, Rice Krispies, Rice
Krispies Bars*, Strawberry Squares.
List #2: Kellogg’s Apple Jacks, Apple Raisin Crisp, Cocoa
Krispies, Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, Frosted Krispies, Nut
& Honey Crunch, Nut & Honey Crunch Biscuits, and Special
K are kosher dairy products.
List #3: *Kellogg’s Chocolate Chip Rice Krispies and
Chocolate Chip Cocoa Krispies Bars are kosher dairy products.
In the near future I will reprint a sermon I preached some
time ago explaining the purpose of the dietary laws.
If you have any questions concerning the dietary laws or
would like to take the first steps to make your home kosher,
please call me (666-1881). I will be very happy to help you in this
major step toward being a participant in regard to Jewish
tradition rather than simply a passive spectator. Please call me.
