When you buy the product:

– It is always preferable to buy a product that is under rabbinical supervision
(that has a hechsher)

– The products on this list have been controlled, but the production is not under
constant rabbinical supervision.

– This list is based on the rabbinical ruling that the usage of monoglycerides
(such as E 471 + E472), whey powder and whey protein is kosher

– Wine and cheese must be produced under supervision in order to be kosher.

– Regarding cheese: It is permissible to eat ‘soft cheeses’ as long as they do not

Regarding Ice cream

Unfortunately some of the ice cream you can buy on the marked these days contains gelatin.

Soft Ice from Polar IS may contain gelatine. At the moment we are examining if it is possible to get further information, but until further notice avoid Soft Ice from Polar IS.

Paradis Is does not contain gelatine and is kosher.
