1202.0. "Does Folgers Coffee Crystals require OUp ..." by TAV02::CHAIM (Semper ubi Sub ubi .....) Tue Apr 07 1992 13:02

Someone just brought me an 8 oz. jar of Folgers Coffee Crystals (red label).

On the last jar that I had just used up I noticed that it contained an "OUp",
which normally designates Kosher For Passover. The jar that I just received
contains only an "OU".

In the past (many years ago) the OU would sanction almost all instant coffees
for Passover and did not have a special "OUp" for them.

Could someone please do me a favor and call up the OU (I believe there is an
800 number) and ask specifically regarding this particular coffee whether it
can be used for Passover ONLY if it has the "OUp" or whether it can be used for
Passover even without the special "OUp" (i.e. just a plain "OU").

Thanks,

Cb.

	They said it could be used even without the "P." Decaffeinated, however can't be used. Jem
1202.2	so what's the difference?	TAVENG::GOLDMAN		`Mon Apr 13 1992 22:56`	2
	Interesting. I picked up a 4 oz. jar a couple of weeks ago and it has the OUp on it.

	Apparently, some decaffeination processes use a chametz or kitniyos substance. If you got a jar with an OUP on it, it must have been done with a different process.

	The one I bought is not decaff.
