The Council of Orthodox
Rabbis — Vaad Harabonim
warns kashrut observers to
check carefully the ingre-
dients of commercially
manufactured crackers,
cookies or cakes.
Some of the items, espe-
cially crackers, include lard
as an ingredient. Kosher
consumers are urged by the
Vaad to look for the symbols
on the cracker packages
which assure that the prod-
uct is fit for consumption by
the kashrut-observing cus-
tomer. These symbols in-
clude the OU, K and COR.
