    If it is the original Red Bull from Europe then it is 100% Kosher – Federation (London) Dayan Elzas. If they are packaging it in the US now, check with Rav Eidlitz or another kashrus authority who keeps up with the latest information to make sure the info on the Star-K list is up to date.

    Not all flavors and varities have the Star K. Check the bottle before purchasing.

    yungerman1 – Even according to the Star K it doesn’t have to have a Star K.

    You would probably need to ritually slaughter it to bring it as a Korban.

    yitayningwut- Can you post a source for that? I didnt see it on their website.

    I did see on their website that Red Bull shots do not have a hechsher.

    Also, hard to believe that all are kosher and only some have the symbol on the package, especially with all the different artifical flavors they have.

    That’s why I wanted to know. None of their products have a hechsher on the package(as far as I’ve seen), and apparently there are some that are NOT certified.

    yungerman1 – It’s muchach mineih ubeih from the link DaasYochid provided above, because some of the drinks say specifically “when bearing Star-K,” and Red Bull does not.

    Only Red Bull original and Red Bull Sugar Free are certified kosher by the London Federation but are not marked as such. All RB is exported from Europe so the US gets the same RB as everywhere else.

    The other two authentic RB products – shots and cola – are NOT certified kosher.

    Any other flavors of RB would not be kosher either – but they must be trial products or actually not RB as RB officially makes only five products.

    -regular (kosher)

    -sugar free (kosher)

    -shots (not kosher certified)

    -sugar free shots (not kosher certified)

    -cola (not kosher certified)
