Thanks to the use of modern technology, Kashrus awareness, knowledge of acceptable products and information regarding recommended Hashgachos is available at the click of a button.
Kashrus: Be In The Know is an organization that was created with the intention to increase kashrus awareness and provide consumers with a knowledge of basic halacha, as well as important information regarding how foods are manufactured and processed. With this information, consumers are able to make educated choices when buying products.
Kashrus: Be in the know has now made shopping at Trader Joe’s much easier by producing a detailed list of Pas and Cholov Yisroel products found at Trader Joe’s nationwide.
This updated list visually educates customers to be aware that although products may have the same name, packaging, and look similar to products on the list, if it is under a different hechsher than the one specified on the list, it is not Pas Yisroel. Click here to access their updated list.
Kashrus Be In The Know provides weekly audio classes given by professionals in the Kashrus field: Rabbi Yitzchak Hanoka, a senior Rabbinic Coordinator at OK Kosher, and Rabbi Nissan Zibell, a Rabbinic Coordinator at the RCF (Vaad Hakashrus of central and North Florida).
The classes give over valuable and practical kashrus knowledge in an average of ten minutes. Requests to make this information available to more people has led to their new website that has all past classes archived in an easy and accessible format.
Although the classes are given by Rabbis who both work in reputable hashgachos, and have a depth of knowledge in Halacha as well as the food industry, the classes given do not reflect the opinions of the agencies they work for. It also does not in any way replace asking questions to a Rav. All consumers are encouraged to reach out to their Rav when deciding on personal Kashrus standards.
After much demand and many inquiries as to which products in Trader Joes are Pas Yisroel and Cholov Yisroel, Rabbi Nissan Zibell has compiled a list of Pas and Cholov Yisroel Products sold at Trader Joe’s, to make shopping easier for consumers, especially for those living in areas where Pas and Cholov Yisroel isn’t readily available. The list also includes pictures of every product listed, to make finding these products even easier.
