May 25, 2009 5:06 am at 5:06 am #670054kapustaParticipantMy guess (guess, not fact) is that this issue is completely unrelated to kashrus, but rather a money issue. Why would they make an “as of” date rather than just call it not kosher now?!?!

May 25, 2009 6:28 am at 6:28 am #670060GoldieLoxxMemberbut they wood not tell people to stop eating there from tuesday

May 25, 2009 6:34 am at 6:34 am #670061kapustaParticipantwell, maybe they said a month ago, pay up by the end of May, if not we pull the hechsher. I remember something similar happened with the Carvel on ocean ave and M, it was kosher for years and years, and then suddenly they also took off the hechsher. (actually the same agency) I must say your idea also makes sense.

December 17, 2009 12:20 am at 12:20 am #670065qawsMemberI just got this as a text message from a friend:
FWD: Listerine PocketPaks made by Johnson & Johnson are back under the certification of the Kof-K. They can be bought even if there’s no hechsher on the
