In the food industry,
sometimes the same word is
used to mean different
things, thus causing confu-
sion for the kosher con-
sumer. In the candy indus-
try, for example, marshmal-
low is a substance wholly
derived from gelatine, a
non-kosher food product
which is made from skin,
bones and connective tissue
of swine and other non-
kosher animals. In cakes,
pies, and cookies, mar-
shmallow is treife.
In the ice cream industry,
however, the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture has
allowed the term "mar-
shmallow" to be used where
there is no gelatine at all,
but there is merely the ap-
pearance of marshmallow
in the ripple of the ice
cream.
The appearance of mar-
shmallow in the ice cream is
caused by egg whites. Thus,
an ice cream flavor called
"Chocolate Marshmallow"
may be 100 percent in con-
formity with Jewish Diet-
ary Law.
Another area of confu-
sion concerns cheese.
Cheese is a solidified
dairy product derived
from milk. It achieves its
hardness from a
coagulator which is al-
most invariably derived
from rennet, a substance
produced ' from the
alimentary canal (a tube
of the digestive system of
the calf) of non-kosher
animals.
All cheese and cheese-
flavored foods (and many
snack foods) must be re-

The Cantors Council of
Detroit will hold its instal-
lation dinner Aug. 24 at
Cong. Shaarey Zedek.
Cantor Sidney Rube,
associate cantor of-Shaarey
Zedek, will be installed as
president of the council.
Other officers are: Cantors

president; Chaim Najman,
treasurer; and Max
Shimansky, secretary.
The evening will also con-
sist of a cocktail party and a
musical program and will

Klein and Larry Vieder,
former presidents of the
Council.
Cantor Rube was born
in Milwaukee, Wis. He

gan, Texas and Neb-
raska. Cantor Rube has
been associated with
Shaarey Zedek since
1966, and also serves the

He is a member of the
Cantors Assembly of
America.
The Cantors Council of
Detroit is comprised of
members who serve local

Rabbi and Mrs. Shmuel
Gordon will be tendered a

ing services on Saturday.
Rabbi Gordon is the son of
Rabbi and Mrs. James I.
Gordon of the Young Israel

The younger Rabbi Gor-
don was ordained at the

garded as treife unless spec-
ifically endorsed by a qual-
ified rabbinic authority.
Again, the ice cream indus-
try is the exception. An ice
cream flavor may be called
"Blueberry Cheese Cake Ice
Cream" and contain no
cheese and no cake. This is
not fraudulent advertising,
but rather fanciful nomenc-
lature, permitted to the ice
cream industry by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administra-
tion. --
Such an ice cream may(
called by such a name _
ply because it looks like
cheese cake — again, an
impression created by egg
albumin.
Non-kosher animal fats
are used in many products,
but are not clearly iden-
tified so that the average
consumer can recognize
them. Very often, the treife
ingredients are referred to
as softeners (in chewing
gum), stabilizers and emul-
sifiers (in candy and cake),
Vitamin A Palmitate (in
dry cereals), turmeric (in
pickled foods), and polysor-
bate 60 or 80, and mono- and
di-glycerides (in a wide
variety of foods).
The kosher consumer
should also watch for
fatty acid, vegetable
broth, shortening, oils
and all stearates which
are most often made with
non-kosher ingredients.
When in doubt, consult a
competent rabbinic
authority. The Metropoli-
tan Kashruth Council office
is open for inquiries daily:
542-4499 or 968-5858.
