PHOTO: A concerned reader has brought to our attention the fact that Costco is selling a candy bag labeled with an OU containing non-Kosher items. The bag, ‘Funhouse Treats’, contains a variety of candies – with only some of them actually under the OU’s supervision. The others in the bag are Non-Kosher.
Costco has since placed a sign near the candies notifying customers about the obvious mistake, which reads as follows: Sour Punch Straws, Lemon Heads, Laffy Taffy, Jolly Rancher and Twizzlers are certified Kosher products. All other items in Funhouse Treats are NOT certified Kosher products.
The bag was appraently created for the Trick-or-Treat season, but shoppers are nevertheless urged to check the products for proper certification year-round. TLS-BA.
i saw them to if you look on back of bag were it goes thru the ingridents in each of the 5 products in the bag it states clearly the items under ou and those not so look before youy buy
the front of bag does not have ou because some of the items in the bag are not under the hechsher
The sign is costco is also not correct as the Jolly ranchers are not kosher!
Jolly Rancher is kosher??? That’s good to know!
Same thing happened last year shame on the OU
we should not buy goyasha halloween candy even if it is kosher.
It is disappointing that the ou doesn’t stop it
to #5 whats wrong with buying candy thats put out for halloween thats kosher?
