Stores in Lakewood and elsewhere have pulled a batch of Gefen Cholent Mix last night following an infestation issue, TLS has learned.
The company sent out the following message last night to its clients:
“To whom it may concern,
It has come to our attention that our Chulent Mix date code # 091218 as well as #090518 and # 090522 has been found to have some instances of infestation.
This may be the result of a hot summer season or other causes. We are addressing this with our growers.
In light of our high standards of Kashrus and quality, we would like to take a precautionary measure and pull all above mentioned product from the shelves and replace with new product which has been checked and cleared as clean.
Please get in touch with your sales rep for a full credit and we’ll replace with fresh product as soon as we are assured of the cleanliness and quality.
Thank you for your assistance and attention to this matter. We appreciate your continued business.”

Will they reimburse consumers? I have a few bags sitting in my pantry.
Return it to the store. The store is getting reimbursed, so he should have no problem refunding you.
What about reimbursement for a whole cholent I have to dispose of now??
