Reply To: kosher foods at Whole Foods

Hello again Coffee Room,

I am asking a follow-up question on this thread I began because I have been reading some things in the CR that confuse me regarding Kosher foods and drinks.

As I write this post, I am looking at a box of Manischewitz matzo ball mix and notice the following designations that seem to be applicable:

pareve

a U in a circle

a P

Kosher for Passover and all year round

What I am wondering is, are these symbols and statements enough of a guarantee that a product (at Whole Foods or anywhere else) is kosher enough to ingest?

I have been uncertain after reading some things on, e.g., the recent thread about Dunkin’ Donuts.

If these symbols and statements aren’t sufficient, what else should I be looking for on the packaging?

Thank you for the guidance!
