And what about pastries and other baked goods? A. L. — W. Bloomfield ANSWER: CAKES AND PASTRIES: The shortenings used are ne problem common to baked goods O is the use of release agents to prevent the product from sticking to the surface. These are not listed as ingredients, and can be produced from animal, vegetable, or mineral oils. To enhance dough production and extend the freshness of the bread, manufacturers use dough conditioners, softeners, and specialty shortenings in their products. Bread mixes are also often us- ed. These contain all the fats, oils, glycerides, stabilizers, flavorings, and other additives necessary for a quality product. Without a reliable kashruth guarantee they must be assured to be non-kosher. pose a unique additional problem. BAGELS: Bagels are made from a special dough and are first boiled and baked. Many bagel shops, or the central locations which supply them, also sell non- Kosher deli meats which may be boiled in the same vats as the bagels themselves. Therefore, bagels cannot be assumed to be kosher unless there is a proper kashruth supervision. — Temple Israel Sets Fund Raiser Temple Israel will host its Fourth Annual fund-raising event, "The Art of Food and Wine," 7 p.m. Feb. 29 at the temple.

FLAVORINGS, FILLINGS, FROSTINGS AND TOP- must also be kashruth supervised ; they PINGS — may contain colors and flavors, gelatin, fats, emulsifiers, and stabilizers, all of which must be kashruth guaranteed. Many "Jewish" foods — such as challah, bagels, etc. — are now available in a totally non-kosher form. If one wishes to maintain standards of kashruth or if one is simply interested in obtain- ing an "authentic" product — one must check that the product is kosher certified. There are many baked products available in the grocery or super- market with nationally acceptable kashruth cer- tification. As for freshly baked products in the Detroit Metropolitan area, the VAAD certifies ZEMAN'S BAKERIES in Oak Park and Southfield, and CAFE KATON in Oak Park.
