Agar Agar is Kosher. I googled about the Kashrus of agar agar. This is what I found. In an email correspndence Miriam Wudowsski of OK certifying agency said, “kosher gelatin is made from kosher fish/or agar agar”. oomis I don’t understand how the country of origin affect whether agar agar may be used to make Kosher Jello on Shabbas, Chagim, maybe with the exception with chag Pesach, and during the year. If agar agar is kosher certified and parve, and can be used as a vegetarian substitute for fleishig kosher gelatin what is the problem?
