Document Summary
Issue --> insect infestation (bugs, ants, caterpillars, etc. ) Prohibited insects must be visible to the naked eye. Fruits and veggies prone to disease should be inspected to ensure no insects. Leafy veggies (lettuce) and flowery veggies (broccoli, cauliflower) Coatings applied to fresh fruit/veggies are concern for kosher. Kosher consumers peel fruits and vegetables to avoid this. All pure fruit juices = kosher except grape juice. Kosher grape juice and wine --> handled only by sabbath-observing jews. Once grape juice is pasteurized = can be handled by any non-jew worker. Raises concern for drinks sweetened with grape juice. Some baking powders non-kosher --> made with cream of tartar, a by-product of wine making. Most bourbon, scotch and whisky do not have formal kosher certification. Blended bourbon --> restricted, non-kosher wine may have been used in preperation. Scotch --> aged in casks that may have been used to age non-kosher sherry wine.
