hello and welcome to starcade special
Pesach webinar we hear in our Starkey

event we want to mention that the
starcade 2018 basic book is out together
with Roe my bestest medicines available

book shop online also our app available

that information all at Starrcade org we
encourage you to look at look at that
information as you can see we have an
array of products here in front of us
then we're going to discuss some of them
or hopefully many of them not everything
that you see here is consuming things up
but they are they are graciously lent to
us by seven-mile market Baltimore and we
thank them for that service and we have
on the bottom left of your screen
actually I'm going to move right now to
make it like this on the bottom of your
screen you can see the chat box and we
do encourage you to chat with us this is
a back and forth we have a lot of things
we want to talk about but I also want to
get to your questions and your comments
and as much as we can in the time that's
allotted so let's start with some things
that to try to save money then maybe you
don't need to buy kosher for
rabbi bar so here's one these are these
say matzo bags on them these are plastic
bags matzo bags yeah okay I'm just
describing what it is
if you miss something by the way we
archive these classes and star - akkada
org and you can you can see them over
there but these are extra heavy matzah
men yeah they're - they're 2 gallon
plastic bags and they also make one
that's column bags for your column grip
and zip but you can buy the ones that
it's a column bags on them they're just
plastic bags really or you can buy the
ones that are 2 pound on the brain so
that are two gallon I mean 2 gallon
plastic bags it's meant to grab the are
anything up for it's a marketing tool
but it's just a plastic bag and that's
you know we don't need that I don't I
mean they're convenient you see them in
the aisle and you buy them but ok I'm
not saying you shouldn't buy them but
you don't need to get them special paste
special 4 paces
now over here we talked here about honey
on our advertisement honey is something
that you do need to get close your
personal is it it's enough you're right
this is like the truth you give this for
cheap true this is this is Goldbergs but
you're educated good point
honey needs to be customer face of
Hawaii I think I know because my corn
syrup right they they cut it with
concept and normally it's not a kosher
issue but I'm peso if it is so until you
buy honey with the kosher and peso
symbol you have to get that this is
Crooklyn honey from from costco you can
get it and it's there all year round
brand and has a no you pee all
year-round the Kirkland brand and Costco
has an oup and you know Costco is known
for their their I didn't go Price
shopping on on it but it should be very
very competitive as most Costco things
are
like its giant this is the dresses five
pounds okay I think it's I think it's 14
dollars or something like that
how much money do you need right some
people use a lot of money so that's a
way that you can you can it's really
nice to see you know the regular brand
is also having the face of fish a right
ear around around in that way is it's a
good way through what to save money
okay we do have some questions if you
bought the stock a a plastid you get two
five seven seven updates for free the
answer is no don't because of the
starcade it's because it is a fundraiser
for the cola los angeles and therefore
no the updates are not for free you need
to make another donation you just have
the kala banks at fifteen in the box the
matzo bags are only 12 in the box okay
well if they're the same price I would
definitely go for the kala bags
definitely you know want to get those
kala bags to save that percentage of
money lay after the shop right
ibuprofen junior strength herbal tablets
and orange flavor allowed on Pesach it
has the same ingredient as Walgreens
okay okay it's a good question and we
have the I have the app on my phone but
we're not totally paperless a like right
but I think we could we can't we can
surmise Lana's question as I see in the
list that it has one brand of you know
medicines or vitamins can I use another
brain does that mean that other brand is
also going in its go brand be cheaper
well these are both store brands shop
break the warm breeze okay so the answer
is no because the
the brands are different they may be
made somewhere else the ingredients
could be different the the inactive
ingredients most likely the ones are the
issues anyway and those certainly could
be different and so the answer is no the
fact that one brand is in the book does
not tell you anything about another
brand also the second part of your
question
aunt Mel washes our ENIAC mouthwash is
allowed to use okay well we could you
know what I'm gonna save these questions
and look them all up in because I have
to go through the they have to do it
I'm you who to ask is nom gourmet still
under star K I also see them in the book
as being under their eyes go so they're
playing both sides of the street and we
act is an act anti at cavity rinse all
an act
restoring mouthwash all okay so we have
to check we have to check those not
necessarily in the app so I don't know
if that's reliable or not we are good
that's if I how fast I can do that you
know act is nothing easy we're told to
search for a CT okay we'll have to do
some double-checking an interest of time
well maybe we'll try that all all these
particular things they don't Gore man
maybe it a starchitect I looked it up I
do have another item here for you that
are under star okay and what is it no
I'm gourmet has bagels that are under
star K no one who may has bagels okay
they have bagels okay I guess they're
made with either matzo meal or with with
some coastal evasive ingredients
okay here we have an interesting exhibit
we have two boxes of baking soda Armand
Hammer baking soda which does not need
baking soda does not need a piece of
everybody there's nothing in it the
process is not a problem in the
ingredients another problem but one has
one hasn't oh you one has no you pee Wow
rabbit Goldberg so why does one ever
know you wanna hasn't know your pee
because they want to charge okay so we
call the oh you and the answer is that
the one with with the oup was requested
by the company to have a know you pee so
they sent down a much gear and they made
a run and they were entitled to Sony
really yeah put the oup on the box but
this is one of those those areas where I
would pretty confident that if like if
the oup one is more expensive it's not
really necessary and you'd be just as
well with the oh you there's some items
where are okay without a half-shirt but
if you want you know to go the neck the
extra mile you you know you're getting
benefit by buying the one with a special
face of hydrogen baking soda I don't
think is one of those items if they're
the same price of course
for sure take them on with OUP otherwise
I think you could save your money this
is not kosher location on the side sugar
is another item is plain sugar this
actually has an appeal I know KP on it
and that is that but sugar doesn't need
plain sugar doesn't need a paper you
don't need to get the Domino's mmm
right you can get a store brand and get
this door anything that plain white
sugar table sugar doesn't need a piece
of hat shirt however confectioner sugar
this one is my Leber's this won't
confectionary sugar doesn't near the
pace of hasher because they
and they could add something to help it
flow so it doesn't get stuck when you
pour it like a cornstarch
these don't have cornstarch do they have
anything else they have tapioca starch
there you go mm-hmm because you need
something tell a bit flow okay no no it
says are there any misnomers cookies
available seven-mile for killer Shawn
Payson that leads us right a very
important point that our colleague of a
crystal who's been on the show and of
course your colleagues here he wanted us
to discuss this this issue when you
people go to basic hotels and after
darvany they have a kiddush of course
besides for the 24-hour Tea Room all
right they also have a kid in Shafter
with a shop this morning or young good
morning they have a kiddush what's
what's what the days after shopping so
you need to have kiddush there but you
need to have kiddush boom welcome sue
the kiddush in the place where you're
having your meal what's your meal well
if you watch that's your meal mmm if you
have MS oh no it's like cake or your
even if you have children you know
that's miss onus that's that can be
considered so-called meal but what if
you have cake that is not mezzo knows
that's not compress it doesn't have any
it doesn't have any matzo meal in it
right which is the way that many many
many of the cakes are being made
nowadays they figured out a way in the
olden days the Naga box cakes just
didn't in kind of in front they weren't
good but nowadays they they really up
their update and that's because of the
gluten-free so they figured out it
actually tastes better okay right so and
and because there are some people who
will eat abrupt and some people who will
not but the people who Iike box will
also eat the products without compromise
right so in order to not have to make
two different types of products it just
most of the cakes the vast majority are
now made
brats it's the way of the world no not
Samuel no Masamune right so you're going
to the kiddush clarification yeah
they're actually looking for pizza
cookies right moral support email okay
so you're going to your kiddush and
you're eating what you're having some
some soda and some and some non GU
Brooks cake but you're not you're not
eating Aaron kiddush boom welcome sudha
and you're not allowed to do that so
it's a problem that he pointed out he's
worked with hotels and he knows this
issue and he wanted us to discuss it and
what's the solution there is the
solution is either to eat the box cakes
to insist that the hotel having a box
cake stand if you can't do that which is
like cane trade for some people
advertises everything dr. Brooks
well you can do we have to wash you can
wash right or you can have you can at
least you must drink a Revere's of grape
juice or wine and that means everybody
in the place it's got a drink everybody
everybody who's joined not only there
the person making kiddush too rough but
every individual eating there has to
drink a review of grape juice of wine
which is say three and half four ounces
of one which is not something that they
would be interested in doing but when I
wanted to be on say kitchen welcome
Souter you need to do that so with
thanks to urban Crispo we at the end we
don't know of any cookies made with more
matzo meal right true
another way you can save money here shop
right brand products this is raisins
heaven oh you pee on them and we
probably probably raisins there are
certain brands without the oil that they
were good okay right certain brands it's
in the book certain brands but that's
the way buying a store brand like that
with with the face of heck sure would
would be certainly acceptable following
reasons or proof easily provided the
world does not appear in the ingredients
lunch give us some examples this little
bunch is like great value which is the
Walmart brand I believe shop right has
no key required Trader Joe's also what
are you requirements when Vince so you
have this it says there raisins the
reason that it shouldn't be any oil we
don't list in their own ingredients
right that's just saying reasons like
this one just says reasons on it okay so
those yes some made raisins with the P
with the P we checked into the process
and and we do approve that for a basis
that's another way with the P to save
money I want to tell you also on the Sun
made somewhere here there are there are
[Music]
some sweet prunes these are some sweet
prunes with with poppy and we checked
into that process as well they are
acceptable at the Triangle cakey process
and that's fine you're going however
there are diced prunes that are not
acceptable from the same company really
even have a P they have some a lot of
oil in them really like kidney for
kidneys eaters but we don't accept that
that's for pizza so when we tell people
the sauce sweet proves are okay with a P
now we are very careful to tell them but
not only the whole Pro is a hopeful it's
not the diced prunes hmm okay so that's
uh okay but these are some ways that you
can you can save money let's let's take
some of the questioners
on ZFS on very identical items with IUP
and without so some happen though you'd
be in some don't will only kosher repast
will be only kosher best ever and only
it has the P that's a question the
answer is yes
usually if one has a big one doesn't you
only you need to have the P or maybe you
could clarify what you're asking thanks
supposed to like that thinking so the
point you were making
well that's just baking soda in bacon so
there's a simple idea if you have items
that really need a basic lecture then
you have to be careful with it rabbi buy
it this is your departmental what issue
what is the issue with decaf coffee
the issue with decaf coffee for pizza is
that sorry
the issue with decaf coffee professor
says that the decaffeination process
means that the process that they use to
take the beam to take the cap the
caffeine out of the beans sometimes uses
a solvent that could be alcohol based
which could run the risk of being a
grain derivative and therefore that's
why because coffee
usually there's a problem for pizza
there are some processes which don't use
that chemical and that would be okay but
you we need to settle in House report so
we have a listed again in the book oh
right I think the core it actually has
the same curse Anka which is one of
those which is a decaf coffee that is
which is kosher if it pays off because
it doesn't use that process but the
other ones you don't know so you have to
be to be careful so that has to have a
pee on the dough yes this one well
actually yeah okay Pete yeah and it's a
number of coffees there's some that that
are okay even without the right there's
a whole bunch because when they look
through the process right now this over
here where's the
sank with the Nescafe this is this is
Nescafe Taster's Choice French Roast
instant coffee instant coffee that and
also the house blend of the same brand
is acceptable but definitely it we've
just know you looked into the process
there's no there's no issues there's
several like that I think you should
just maybe we should mention at this
point that it's some K Cups and things
like that
also need them the same the same good
Dharam the same rules that apply to
regular coffee that you'll get like this
will also apply to the cake up take up
for occurred kick up for accurate
machine right how do you how do you toss
your a crude machine my Chapman is
asking so that information is in our
book right it's on page 29 of our book
Couric how to kasher occurring machine
is there a lot of details there let's
let's continue with some of these
questions Joseph asked what could be the
problem with parchment paper that's also
rabbi buyer specialty and I feel like
the guy who's in left field usually but
nothing ever comes to neuro here so
parchment paper you've been to a number
of progeny plants right have where
Norway so so there's a there's different
kinds of paper out there that people use
for baking parchment paper real
parchment paper which says which has
gone through a process that they call
parchment icing which is it goes through
it
acid baths so that generally doesn't
have any comments issues but that stuff
is not that available the the papers
that we have on the marketplace
generally that people use for baking or
not what you call genuine parchment
sometimes they are but a lot of them are
paper that's been coated with something
to give it that property that that makes
it like a release agent that gives it a
property or thing so that food will
stick to it there are times where you
might have Kittitas kinda ingredients in
in paper
there's starches that could be involved
sometimes in paper to add some strength
to the paper so in order to avoid all
those issues we make sure to give it a
special paste extra you told me whole to
start only the majority almost every
almost all of the paper that the
starcade certifies I can't think maybe
one is certified for Pesach year-round
those are in the book right nothing
special P so that also was a way to
write by the way when we say in the book
it also is available for free app on the
app and online the only thing that's not
for free again is the medic medication
information ok dried spices need to need
basic certification yes they do the
process and the maybe some additives
would we do require certification
Zeb says important to know tonight it
can be gluten-free and still be a
hundred percent comments that's that's
one of the things actually was gonna
point out that gluten-free people think
okay if it's gluten-free then it's not
going to be hungry totally not true
the prime example are gluten-free Quaker
Oats right it's a cereal they make right
cuz quake I mean Baker oats naturally
are gluten or less gluten than regular
than other grains so it's it's one of
the main ingredients at a lot of cool
right so that that people see the word
gluten-free does not really tell you
anything about about the comments proud
of it although if you wanted to save a
little
after pizza when all these pace up cakes
go on sale right if they haven't sold
them the old and there's something on my
paper and they are gluten free so for
those books it's not necessarily you
know I'm saying it's like you could get
them you can get the gluten free cake
you said people who want to be gonna get
gluten free cake for you full year a
reason for sale true okay I I do want to
point out a couple of things one is we
changed the books and the list they do
go through changes every year and you
can't rely on what was last year for
this year there sometimes it's changes
are subtle and you wouldn't necessarily
notice unless you're looking for it so I
want to point out one which is the meat
and the chicken the meat and the chicken
we used to say raw meat and raw poultry
is cultural pace of all year round where
that was our our understanding then we
realized that the the the meats when
they come from the from the
slaughterhouse sometimes they're packed
in the cryovac like in plastic and that
has in it cornstarch the bags have
cornstarch in them so we started to say
well the meats not necessarily you got
to know you know we're getting from it
should have a pace of approval that they
don't use cornstarch in the bags and
then we started to realize this year
that a lot of stores or well some stores
let's say some butcher store
supermarkets are starting to do a lot of
seasoning and cooking in the area where
they prepare their meat and chicken so
they're not necessarily going to be
Coachella pace of all year so now even
on the chicken we took off that line and
we do not say any more than all chicken
is Coachella face of all year raw
chicken you you you have to find out the
good thing is that every butcher shop
supermarket whatever that cell then
repack themselves has to have it after
you can buy from it without after so you
can turn to them and say is it Coachella
pacer oh yeah
just wondering in theory it could
couldn't someone just rinse off in cold
water the raw to me that's a good
question they have to ask they Rob we're
not gonna take a stand on and does the
worst that we're talking about here is a
minut amount of corn starch chicken with
whatever spices we're talking about
right we're not talking about a major
amount that's gonna get on there with
you say you're not talking so much about
commas if they were making kishka I
would I would agree with you that it's
not like it's not like happening
everywhere but it is enough that we said
listen we're not gonna take
responsibility for it anymore everybody
should have certainly asked about and
don't assume this sir so for instance or
prohibited seven mile market is Khosla
face of all year old they're their raw
meat and raw chicken it's coal basically
because they do take care but not every
store does that I just think we actually
certify a company that makes the plastic
wrap that they use to do this cryo Becky
so they have a line of regular
year-round stuff okay and then they have
a line of kosher for Pesach plastic okay
that doesn't have any starch I certified
your company okay very good
okay number three so you're right so we
we are we're recommending now if you buy
it from a company factory let's say
Empire or whatever
chickens are you're buying those say on
them already
Coachella Pacer that will come you'll
see it on the label right so you're
covered with that and but if you're
getting a repacked in the store then you
should be asking your local agency about
it another stringency i know i want to
try to push the leniencies but there are
some things that sometimes we take a
small strict view water what could be
the problem of water we always said
water is Kushal apace off plain seltzer
you know
we've started and that's generally true
we started to find that sometimes they
have situates in them sodium citrate
calcium citrate in what in water or
water Lauren's club soda and those
potato probably would be from from
kidney as potentially maybe comments I
guess theoretically and so yeah it would
be nullified bottle many times over but
we stopped saying that all water and all
club soda is okay we're saying you
should look on the ingredient list make
what you need to do anyway to make sure
there's no flavors or something right
and make sure there's no secrets in
there so even something as simple as
water can get in the book we write them
any fresh bottled spring or distilled
water that is unflavored 8:15 and does
not list any citrate as an ingredient
may be used right including those with
fluoride or minerals so the Florida
minerals is not the issue
the Florida minerals are still another
problem right those are not going to be
coming um I have here on my on my notes
free the vitamins Union free the
vitamins we we got confirmation from the
remember watch all of the new square
that all free the vitamins are comets
free
that's a year-round year-round they're
all comets free they don't have any
comments in them but they they possibly
could have kidney us in them
so that depends on how why what is my
patients taking it kid does he need to
take it to the avoid taking it daddy has
to discuss with his row and there is a
list of which ones have have decreed
ahead a list three dads a list we have
it here on you know if you have a
question about you can call us or email
us by the way our email is info at star
- Kor G our phone number four one zero
four eight four four one one zero our
front desk is very very busy and all
entire staff is she loves getting busy
this time of year but we we would be
happy to answer your question about
which Freda is is may have kidney s and
which doesn't have your in you
welcome to be in touch let's take some
of them other questions are they buyers
though they're building up over here
neshama asks what about lipsticks
lipsticks we do have a list of which
lipsticks are home it's free in the book
is it an actual issue I would say it's a
home run because it looks like is not a
food and it doesn't taste good but
eventually when you go and put the
little one a person puts on lipstick
thing that I've ever done this but I
have five daughters so I've seen it like
that so they ingest some maybe right
that's why generally people would be
wanting to get a lipstick that is as
being calm it's free even if they're not
careful about that with other types of
cosmetics and that's strict but with
lipsticks it's something that generally
people will be the same issue with
chapstick same question yes make sure we
can check we can check our Lena s can
people be yolks a kiss with fruit such
as an apple or an orange answer is no no
s RK Tech has some information of how to
update the app Connie Feldman has a
recipe for us thank you
Yosef says according to starcade book
any unflavored seltzer with no additives
can be used on face off
yes does that apply to cans and bottles
[Music]
a purchase price yes it applies to cans
and bottles must be purchased prior to
pay stuff no no no there's not we're not
there are those agencies that are
concerned about the the carbonation yes
because we gave our own natural sodas so
we had that half but also we made sure
that the carbonation was we did right
but we do accept we do we don't we don't
know we're not we're no we don't drink
milk but when we give our own naturally
so that highlights the
just thinking that people don't know
that even though there are some things
that we do accept and we tell people
they are okay
but when we when we give our own texture
we go for the higher standard to satisfy
everybody right okay Jeff says is there
a list of K Cups which K Cups are
acceptable without you know you have
that information yes you have some
information and we also copy also copied
into our our list so internalists I hope
you call it office we can help you or
you can gather from the oh you I need to
remember there was a Starbucks I think
was okay very long then many many brings
many many brands narrow it's acceptable
Adam Adam says how about the issue with
Israeli dry diet drinks kidney
astonished honor okay so well that's an
issue could be with with American diet
race you have that so other please just
regular Pepsi Pepsi Cola it has the
famous yellow cap with this with the
color paste look sign on it and that's
its color pesos now this does not have
any possible kidneys in it right what
they do is instead of using corn syrup
they use sugar and the people who are
real Pepsi fans or coke fans they know
to get right there their Coke or Pepsi
piece of time so they get a lot of soda
companies actually are going to pure
cane sugar really around because of the
health high fructose with this Court's
ipsilon for example the starcade soda
that we certify the Jones Soda hmm it's
Kings cane sugar all year round okay
good but it doesn't so you can't use it
anyway because yeah we don't have flavor
right
let's say the diet coke for instance
does use kidneys jinusean kidneys
legumes that have gone through some
changed process right and that is a
dispute among the authorities whether it
is acceptable
okay so kidneys is not acceptable for
for Ashkenazi but kidney as they went
through this process and it's changed
it's not recognizable maybe it is
acceptable that is the question and
Starrcade strict about it our products
do not have kidneys in Sudan and other
agencies
however when it comes to the dyed coke
now behind the Moon feels that it's
something that's necessary and there
aren't any substitutes really and and so
on and so forth and he does it isn't a
book we do we do what we do recommend it
we got our our products that are case
certified for pizza do not have been
conditioned last year was not right this
year it is really Pepsi last year was a
higher level was but then working on it
for next year he told me ok ok good ok
brian says SodaStream is the co2
cartridge acceptable for Pesach so this
is another SodaStream fan as my family
is also we love it we just make our own
when ours is non electronics that we can
even do any choice and you want it we
use our basic yes we don't have any
problem with it any problem with the
cartridge is for pace up the machine and
we recommend that you clean it it
doesn't get comments on it and you don't
wash it really so just just make sure
that it's that it's cleaned the the
bottles I would say get new bottles for
pace up because they so I would get new
bottles but the cartridges do not have a
problem commission there those are fine
Adam says has the proportion of non-gay
Brooks eaters gone up so much that is
reasonable that there are so few items
with matzo meal the answer is its
marketing it smart
we discussed that before is that the
products without them not similar are
tastier than ever before and the people
who eat matzo meal the other ones so why
not just make one right so the people
who eat are mostly people who don't eat
gonna erupt right so it's like it's like
a hotel the advertisers sure I'm not so
only right not everybody who cares
careful formats are only on a whole
pacer
but people who eat regular matzo will
certainly inch more matzo so why not go
for that that's that's that's the reason
I think mostly you who this says and oh
you book has a whole list of unflavored
K Cups do not need special P designation
and the issue with cast iron pans and
seasoning yes they are pre-seasoned
that's not a personal questions
o year issue I would not recommend using
a preseason pan for pacer
well preseason usually if you buy them
the season okay I mean and even during
the year we say Takashi
okay Zeb wants to clarify something
about multo dextran
so I believe clarifying that in the USA
it's usually made from corn and
therefore would be kidneys it's made in
Europe it's usually comments that's
correct okay so that's true
Oh Abe says there are my best list shows
multi-texture in his comments possible
comments I don't think that well my best
says it is cause he probably has it on
the may or possibly his comments I don't
think he has it as a as a definite
comments item that would be unusual okay
let's continue with some of the items
you want to get to every buyer okay this
is one of my my issues
the ancient harvest kin one it's a
popular brand in the United States it's
one of the original brands it's a it's a
well-liked product and what like company
and it used to be that it was cultural
okay so all the time they changed some
of their production and therefore now we
would only recommend it with a special
run last year they did a special run
okay so what was produced with a date
code you see here the day code it says
February 1st 2019 that was two years
from that from when they produced it
right it's a two year expirations
that was acceptable the whole February
so who won
2019 through to 28th 2019 that was no
acceptable without any special pacer
symbol just with the star K because we
were we were monitoring it
that was last year they produced it it's
still still around it's still around
some places like for instance in seven
mile market it's not up on their on
their on their pacer shelf but it is in
the regular section and you can get it
with those days it is perfectly cultural
pay so as it was last year but it's not
available in
in the ready no regular regular store so
they didn't make a run this year
I suppose if people would want it then
they would turn to the company people
sometimes ask us why didn't you do a
special run why isn't there a that
product out there well we don't run the
companies finding garbage though yes
okay so if you can't find the ancient
harvest is another start a brand that's
called green kinwa green that's not the
kid was not green that's the name of the
brand okay it's called green quinoa
that's the brand and its raw whole grain
hold on yes it's wrong the whole grains
only because they make other things also
they make flakes they make macaroni they
make all sorts of things and it says on
the side of the box that it's produced
by Andy and Valley in Bolivia which is
honest arcade company so that has a
stark a it doesn't have a pee on it but
it is acceptable for Pesach it's
available on the green Kimmel website
and Amazon and other other places I
assume there's is white there's red and
then there's tricolor three colors white
red and black so all those are
acceptable for pay stuff just with the
starcade without the P I think Green
King will the green King will bring or
they could buy any reliable brand right
with a peso texture they should not buy
one without without a pace of Hatcher
because we were discussed in the past
years and we have on our site all the
issues that could be but with the pace
of hack show or reliable I'm sure it's
fine and it is available people do like
the ancient artists print but we don't
we don't we can't tell the companies
what they do we can tell them we think
that people would like it but you know
their companies are make the decisions
okay
okay so parents yes are you okay with
dye Coke and Pepsi for some I'm not sure
what that means but yes we all came with
a Diet Coke and Pepsi that have the
cultural peso symbol on it yes we're
okay with that
no no says so at a hotel under the kaj
does he mean okay those are of age
allowed drinking diet coke with the oup
okay so I think so if the hotel is under
the star King does behind one allow
drinking the diet coke with with with or
you're feeling answers yes yes yes yes
yes I believe so that's one of the only
products where the exception is made
with the condition is started for
various okay mo she says are all good
filter fish kosher for Passover
definitely most definitely not not
kosher evasive and people have that idea
because they're made with matzo meal but
the matzo meal may not be Coachella
Pesach the equipment is not kosher Lupe
stuff you definitely need to get partial
pay so if you filled the fish no no no
means under the kaj so at a hotel under
the cage a does rub each who's I'm not
sure any question Donna please clarify
because we're confused with it I'm sorry
okay another item that is that is
interesting and we're not getting to the
ones here in front of us are a bar
because we're just leaving them out let
me let me take a look at some of the
things we have here we have safflower
oil safflower oil people sometimes want
to note is that kidneys and the answer
is we do not consider in kidneys it is
called KP and we do accept that as a
base up we have here libras libras
almond milk which has a
okay so texture is kosher for Passover
right yes almond milk that is as far as
I know the only I would know that is
actually kosher for Passover and that is
the ideal one for a person who can't
drink milk and wants to have common milk
if that's not available or you can get
it in our list and our God we have
almond milks and soy milks and other
extended our kidneys or half kidneys in
them which are acceptable under certain
conditions like if you bite from okay so
if your children children so there are
there limitations of that recommend you
to if you can't get that one looking
look in the book for our guidelines on
the same thing with like coconut milk I
believe bread coke and milk - right you
should get one with a piece of texture
and if you can't then there are those
that are acceptable good enough under
certain conditions what else do we have
here a bit more coconut oil what is the
issue it has a pace of Hampshire what is
the issue with coconut oil well we
actually have a couple under our
certification this one is not runs which
like they do they have it in Israel know
if cooking a milk coconut water I should
say coconut water available in Israel
there's there is coconut oil available
under the Carrington farms shop right in
Wegmans organic brands has coconut oil
which are start KP they have to get the
pee but you need to have somebody that's
gonna run it needs to be in this right
door where you are find it yeah but a
shop right or or Wegmans
you know which are pretty widespread
especially in the East Coast I think it
would probably be okay the issue would
be the big caleb more than anything else
there are really coconut oil is not
produced that hot
would be a major issue but there could
be initiative so if the kala is that if
the utensils and the the heating
utensils and the you know the machinery
or whatever it could be used for summits
or kidneys oils
that's why we have a young okay we did
get some information yesterday about
Trader Joe's coconut products right see
if I can read that information hope that
ya hear that Trader Joe's brand with the
bck symbol that's the british columbia
kosher symbol for instance the
unsweetened coconut chips unsweetened
coconut flakes the coconut flour the
triple filtered coconut oil extra virgin
coconut oil reduced fat coconut milk
coconut cream so those are acceptable
for basic as well without any special
piece of Hampshire great because like
everybody wants coconut it's like the
drinking vinegars right people are
drinking vinegar drinking vinegars and
coconut that's their health we have the
we have the star K which is non kidneys
anything when a star cave doesn't have
any kidney or something but we have a
Heckscher force fired and called the
star s and it's the same as the star K
except and and and and that we have the
various brands that are acceptable and
rice I believe right spy the meat rice
right on pizza but rice can have
additives can have nutrients so you're
therefore it's not just any rice so we
in the past years ago
yeah they sort of like trying to find
out a little bit about but now it's
actually certified for four pixels
except that it's only for Soglin and
then if I'm still supposed to check
through three times as is there we have
we have salads
may just roll
and then you have Eric brand green beans
and green peas and peas and carrots and
all these and California delight makes
baby corn and all these things which are
acceptable for them and they are
perfectly it's perfectly fine for them
it's not that we you know we just based
on reading the ingredients with telling
them it's okay now actually they
actually certified for pesos for stardom
so that's this that's the dentist RS
there is an item chocolate-covered matzo
that we have remember when you were
growing up lead on we do have we have
chocolate-covered matzo
I'm the 21st century chocolate-covered
21st century with a star K P and it's
chocolate-covered matzo it is not made
from egg matzah it's real matzah but
there are other types most other types
of chocolate-covered matzo a main
commitment I made from egg Madsen so
it's more cakey it tastes better perhaps
in terms of that but that's only for
it's only for natural elderly people who
can eat egg monster or the
or some other words the market is not is
not that great for chocolate-covered egg
masses you have to be you have to have a
leniency to build a big mutts in the
first place but this this
chocolate-covered mass is made from real
matzo so anybody can can can eat it
let's take some more the questions are
buyer sandy says did you discuss a large
bag of Klein's raisins that Costco sells
we have some clients products here but I
don't know what the I mean they would
need on them a like here these are
Klein's cranberries and may have on them
the whole cake P speaker on the back and
so I'm not sure what's being sold at
Costco but if it has a customer place of
symbol we you have also let's say here
you have a moment
talk a little bit that nuts nuts you
have here these are these are not
standing on cultural aphasia roasted and
salted cashews these definitely need a
piece of texture because they roasted
and the equipment could be an issue but
raw nuts right so we have a holdup
statement in our book that raw whole or
chopped nuts like almonds pine nuts
walnuts cashews without preservatives or
other additives such as bhdha and corn
oil are true for Passover
yeah we actually have a couple of
companies that we certified letter under
Starrcade if the label states in this
process and the planted process is
kidneys or comments then it requires
reliable can't be certification so in
other words what I'm saying is you
couldn't have where you can buy raw nuts
and based on our guidelines without a
space of certification and that would be
fine but that would that would be an
item where I would say if you boil it
with the basis of certification it's not
like oh it's not
waste of money because that means that
it was a much be up there and they check
the sources and they check the processes
checked the equipment and that's an item
which you could you know you could go
either way on that
okay so Jeff says are there any start s
items that would be okay for Ashkenazi
consumers or whether then have a start
K yes so he's pointing out that some of
our items have a star s and a star K if
they have let's say like tuna fish so
they have let's say to an efficient I
think I have a can of tuna this is
California to light our brain stark a
brand it has a star K P and have to
start SP what does that mean that means
it's good for Ashkenazim for a peso it's
also good for spider interfaces why
would you need a star s on it because
they are more strict with the visual
process and therefore it meets even a
stricter visual process for app for a
safari but since it has both it's good
for for either rice we only have a star
s you would never have a star kill me so
if you see both then you know it's good
for both if it's the only one it's only
good for for one or the other
sandy says she's talking about craisins
no she says craisins and Klein's being
sold at at Costco I guess if I mean if
they have a reliable certification for
pesos crazies usually have corn syrup in
them it's acceptable
I think Costco is really moving again in
a big way toward to being more basic
friendly for instance we have our that
was always true but I think even even
more so there is a company called Super
Girl Super Girl super super super super
right and they make soups and and and
and they're being sold at Costco this
year and they are Coachella pace of mmm
specialist here in and but that's a good
market to get into Costco and she has
actually quinoa soup so she harvest of
course that's proprietary information
[Music]
she did use Starrcade certify for
facebook quinoa and it is available it's
gonna be available at Costco for a peso
and we are looking forward to when
Costco is building okay Sean says that
you mentioned using the
chocolate-covered matzo practically no
use it for up you come in and then for
our komen for a fee called present but
no you would not use that traffic
comment you have to explain the joke
right so Sean was right no you cannot
use that it has to be you you would you
be using schmancer for afikoman this is
not your master you would not be using
chocolate-covered matzo
traffic-calming you could have it during
meal if you want to do for dessert
[Music]
pasteurized all nuts are pasteurized
these days somehow they have to be
pasteurized PPO or it was we looked into
this recently because it's not a stop
preferred during the year for as a cache
miss issue so right because all the nuts
or games are getting pasteurized because
they are afraid of we have not found it
to be an issue we have not found it to
be an issue so we do accept it and
Industry generally they are exempted
again that's what I would say if you
bought the nuts with it
Heckscher you are getting something for
your money and that is that they looked
at there was much gear there and he
checked out to make sure nothing was was
was an issue senator once in the wire
peeking in he can't becomes more
problematic becomes right your Baltimore
we say pecans and and the answer is it's
a very good question I looked into this
the has to do with the size so let's
read it because let's read what the the
text is about the peak peak peak ants
whole and half pecans are similar hall
and half pecans are similar to any Royal
Hall or chopped not mentioned above
meaning that they will be acceptable
under the conditions that we say however
pecan pieces and pecans must bear
a cat be symbol so why are pecan pieces
a begins worse and the answer is
that I mean if you're squeamish you may
not want to know this but along with the
pecans come little worms from hand worms
yeah from from the fields Congress yes
and they don't want you to eat those and
you're not interested in them so they
have to get rid of them so the the the
larger the size of the mouth the larger
size pecans and the worms are different
sizes so there was they just put them
through an Academy right screen they
screen them out and there's no problem
with their screen up the worms the worms
a little they fall through the holes of
bigger piano he can't stay on the top
right but the but the the pecans
and the pecan pieces are the same size
as the worm so they can't use mechanical
screening so in order to get rid of
those they put them they soak them in
solution containing alcohol and then the
worms float to the top
and the pecans go down the line so so
because of the alcohol is of unknown
origin to us therefore we do not
recommend those with
the pecans and a pecan pieces
however they have pecans pecans and a
big becomes our okay okay right half
hole in half are big enough that they
can separate them out
mechanically pecan pieces and the
because they say on the label and
they're eaten it becomes that's the
that's the long answer white becomes a
more problematic we're coming to the end
of our our webinar by now we're ready
did we get through most of these items
this here is a talk about Matson how
could you have a webinar without matzo
this is kabura matzo and this is 18
minute matzo and what is the difference
between this is actually smaller and
this is not yours so that's one
difference you know the difference is
that the term kabura what they use means
it's actually eighteen minutes from
start to finish there are other ones
that say eighteen minutes and are
actually 22 minute monsters we thought
about this in length and it's on our
website you can see why they really take
22 minutes then don't count the first
four minutes where they are kneading
because kneading you can't become
comments so they're really 22 minutes
between cleanings from one set to the
other it's not really 18 minutes it's
okay it's fine it's considered a minutes
it's a good matzo to buying it skosh of
a face sauce and it's recommended but
it's not technically 18 minutes and we
used to give an extra to that friend I
want to say this because it's rather
Hahnemann's credit will you think of a
half-shirt but about we remove the
Heckscher from the 18 minutes because
you're behind them felt it's not it's 22
minutes and it's not exactly 18 minutes
it doesn't have a problem with it you
can eat it I eat it you can eat it you
can we serve it at Starrcade events but
it's not it's not
the 18 minutes that people think it
isn't therefore for that reason you
wouldn't certify I just want to mention
a couple of star K yeah I mean II the
star came onto the Linkwood matzo bakery
star KP more months the Hinch more
muscle available with a star k with the
star K P right I don't know this is a
star K P or not it doesn't look like it
Rosinski Rosinski is a new brand from
Italy that's the bread aisle Rosinski
this is a beer mm-hmm that's the brand
that's from Italy at Starrcade beyond it
it says pain a zine wheat I'm sure I'm
you know much about itself isn't there's
a problem there must be a specialty type
of do you want important motto it must
be a higher level it's obviously some
advertising okay and seven-mile as mice
SML market seven-mile market here
multiple local makes it makes energy
strong they make a hand matzah and a
seven-mile speakers and the starcade on
it they make matzo and this is actually
what i use because yes I do this is
cheap it's $16 a pound a seven-mile
money yes still yes and as opposed to
the others which are 23 $25 I somebody
asked us does classical how many
monsters yet I don't know somebody
somebody asked us that that why is it so
cheap perhaps they're using leniencies
in the production I explained to him
it's nothing
actually they keep all of the rules that
we go there and you say the pliancy is
in their profit right so mileage just
isn't trying to make a lot of money loss
leader it's a cost product you know
public service it's a public service
that they wonder then you know it's it's
a that's why there's nothing wrong in
Lincoln ceasing and when you say like
Costco does sell sometimes more matzo
also like $15 a pound it doesn't mean
that there's any specific particularly
Joyce's Costco's matzo $15 a pound okay
and and I'm pain is French for bread
okay so that's all it means
so it just means that it's matzah so
that's what it says on the box
the Rosinski brand pain Hazim mm-hmm
