The Tur (Orach Chaim, Siman 603), based upon the Talmud Yerushalmi, cites the custom for Jews to be stringent during the Aseret Yimei Teshuva to eat exclusively ‘Pas Yisroel’ bread. Even those Jews who generally do not exclusively eat ‘Pas Yisroel’ are encouraged to accept this practice during the period between Rosh Ha-Shanah and Yom Kippur.
We are therefore presenting the list of all OU Pas Yisroel products.
What is Pas Yisroel?
How do you certify Pas Yisroel products?
Please note:
1) All OU-P (Kosher for Passover) Matzah products (e.g. Matzah, Matzah Meal, Matzah Meal products) are Pas Yisroel, even if not listed below.
2) Not all products on this list are available in all countries or geographic regions.
3) The OU Poskim are of the position that breakfast cereal and wafers are considered a tavshil and not pas and, therefore, are not subject to the the laws of Pas Yisroel.
4) Products which are also cholov yisroel and/or yoshon are so indicated.
5) Items manufactured in Israel are noted with an asterisk(*) and are all yoshon.
6) Food service establishments such as restaurants and caterers are noted with a (FSE).
