The standard for the designation “dairy” for kashrus purposes is different from the government standard. Many products approved\u00a0<\/span>by the government as “non-dairy” are actually dairy according to Jewish law. (See also “Non-dairy products,” page 134). A common example of this is “non-dairy creamer.” Even when this product is certified kosher, we often will find an O\/U<\/span>D<\/span>\u00a0or O\/K<\/span>D<\/span>, as these products often contains casein, a milk derivative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Three classes of dairy ingredients exist:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Dairy by nature: milk, cream, cheese, butter, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Milk derivatives: casein, lactalbumin (see albumin), lactose, potassium caseinate, sodium caseinate, whey. (Lactic acid is pareve unless it is used in a dairy product.)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Dairy by contamination from equipment and utensils: many baked goods, chocolates, margarine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Products that need to be checked carefully because they regularly contain the above ingredients are: margarine, “non-dairy” products, baked goods (cookies, pretzels, cake mixes, etc.), and breakfast cereals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dairy foods such as yogurt, sour cream, and whipping cream require supervision. Common problems: gelatin, emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavors, colors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Products such as sour cream, buttermilk, cottage cheese, and others require supervision. Common problem: rennet and gelatin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
