What should I do if a product is missing its OU Kosher symbol that it normally bears?
When you see a package of an OU certified product without the OU symbol, please don’t assume that the product is ‘ probably’ Kosher and that the missing OU is due to “a printer’s error” or to “old labels”.
It may not be necessarily so.
Each case is different.
For example: There is a brand of mustard that is OU certified in the regular size, but not certified in the small size as it is produced in a plant not certified by the OU.
There are also instances where the company or the product parts ways with the OU, resulting in a situation where the product is no longer certified.
These are just a few of a number of possibilities.
The Bottom Line: Don’t Assume. If you don’t find the familiar symbol, our suggestion is to either email the Webbe Rebbe at or call our Hot Line (212 613 8241). We will be happy to answer any such questions.
