Hi - Until recently, items marked "kosher" in the state of NY had to actually BE kosher. That is no longer the case, following a (circuit?) court decision. (THe decision was based on church-state separation issues.) The decision was reported this week in the New York Times. --Beth Kevles [log in to unmask] http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.
