Sometimes there is just a K or U and other times a D (for dairy) or parve is added. If there is just a K or a U on the box, how do I know if it is parve? The ingredients label is not always easy to decipher.

I enjoy your series on Keeping Kosher. However, while watching the short film on shopping, I noticed you spotlighted a K-D kosher symbol, which was not a kashrut supervision agency, but just a simple K-D. It was always my understanding that if the kosher symbol is not a copyrighted logo, it could not be reliable. The letter K can be printed on any box as letters themselves are not copyrighted. Since many of the commercial Kellogg cereals and many yogurts have now reverted from a recognized kashrut supervision agency to a simple K, I have refrained from purchasing them, as I am not sure if the product is really kosher. Without an authorized supervision, how can I be sure that ingredient changes are permissable? Are there products where the non-hechshered K (or K-D) are permissable?
Thank you.

The narrator indicates that there are absolutely no issues to take into consideration when shopping for produce -- however, I think I would be remis if I did not point out that produce that is pre-cut by the grocer, for example watermelon, is something to be wary of.
This is because of the possibility that the knife used could previously been used for non-kosher foods. Therefore, cut fruit and produce should be avoided -- unless it is known for certainty that the knives have only been used for produce.

| Wine represents the holiness and separateness of the Jewish people. However, since wine was and still is used in many forms of idolatrous worship, it has a unique status in Jewish law, which places extra restrictions on the making and handling of wine.

Torah teaches: “You are what you eat.” The holy books tell us that non-Kosher food desensitizes the person, G-d forbid, and instills cruel traits within him. How crucial it is then for Jewish food to be Kosher to the highest standard!
