I accidentally purchased ices without a hechsher several years ago from a non-Jewish company. I contacted them on the off chance they had a hechsher because I did not want to throw my money away and heard their product was better than most. They emailed me back saying the OU said they were kosher but they would have an OU Dairy on the box because of dairy machinery. They said (back in 2009) that they hopped to have the OU on their boxes by 2010. I am not sure why they still do not have it (they maintain they are perfectly kosher and are finalizing the process with OU). Do you think it is ok to trust them that the OU said they were kosher even though there is no hechsher on the box? The ingredients on the box are kosher as far as I can tell.
Several years ago? How much is an ices? I would just chuck it.
Do you still have the ices? 😛
Did the OU put their symbols on the packages since then?
“A new one from the grocery store?” Why, where else? What are your other options?
Ask the OU. 212-613-8241

“So I called the OU and they said the company has dropped out of the certification process for unknown reasons. You think I can trust them and eat it or just go somewhere else?”
If there was a likely chance that the company was putting poison in their food would you believe them if they told you that they don’t? Kashrus is not a joke and not a game. It doesnt look like you take it too seriously.

I would not trust them. They don’t have complete knowledge of kashrus and when ou says something like that, it would be wise to listen.

Nice, right out of the gemarah.
Problem is I have a different analogy… would you even try eating it if there was a chance that there is some dishsoap mixed in? Anyone who ever tasted dishsoap by mistake would say no.
How good can these ices be? You just want them because they are forbidden to you.
Except my two year old. He loves dishsoap.
thegra: “Please do not judge me. You think I consider koshrus a game after I waited two years and contacted the company and the OU?”
Yes I think you consider Kashrus a game. Now what?
And that’s why it looks like you don’t want a knowledgeable response.
No. They do not have chezkas kashrus. This can be dragged out and explained in a long long post. I’m not doing it.
You said you already have the answer so it’s not necessary.
Ices or ice cream?
Sheesh. I hate stupid burns. They’re just stupid. Stupid. stupid.
Break it up both of you.
