Bugels – General Mills

Vaad of Tidewater — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:15:37 +0000

General Mills is discontinuing the OU-D kosher certification from all sizes of Bugles Original due to operational changes at the production sites, and will no longer be certified.

The OU-D symbol will begin to be removed from packaging in February of 2011. Consumers are likely to see some Bugles Original packages with the OU-D symbol and some without as the transition occurs. The Bugles with the OU-D are in fact kosher.

Keurig K-Cups

Vaad of Tidewater — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:12:18 +0000

Please be advised that there a number of K-Cup coffee / Hot Chocolate pods for the Keurig machine that are dairy. If you use them, your machine becomes dairy and you may not drink any beverage produced by the dairy machine together with a meat meal.

If you wish to drink a beverage produced by the dairy machine after a meat meal, you must run the machine on the largest cup setting without a pod in order to flush the machine from any dairy residue. (The machine remains dairy equipment even after this procedure.)
