Tastykakes Receive Highest Kosher Designation The Popular Snack
Cakes Are Now Certified Kosher by the Orthodox Union PHILADELPHIA,
Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- They are mouth-watering,
scrumptious, soft and delicious. Now, they are OU Kosher, too. The
Orthodox Union and the Philadelphia-based Tasty Baking Company
announced today that the company's familiar Tastykake products are
now certified kosher by the Orthodox Union. This designation will
enable a product line that is perfect for breakfast, school
lunches, birthday parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, and after-school
snacks, to be eaten by those who insist on the most trusted and
recognized kosher certification. The Orthodox Union, with its
familiar OU symbol, is the world's largest kosher certification
agency, certifying more than 275,000 products produced in nearly
6,000 plants located in 68 countries around the world. The
announcement was made jointly by Rabbi Menachem Genack, Rabbinic
Administrator of the OU Kosher Division, and by Charles Pizzi,
president and CEO of Tasty Baking Company. "The OU designation is
clearly the most coveted of the kosher certifications available in
the United States, and we at Tasty Baking Company are thrilled to
display the prestigious OU symbol on our packaging," said Pizzi.
"Now consumers can enjoy Tastykakes, and have confidence that they
are baked under strict adherence to OU standards." "The kosher
marketplace has expanded to such a degree that manufacturers
welcome the opportunity to receive OU certification, and are
willing to make the investment necessary to meet the OU's demanding
standards," said Rabbi Genack. "We are very proud to welcome
Tastykake to the steadily growing list of products that carry the
OU symbol." The two organizations also announced that Tasty Baking
Company will donate Tastykakes to Jewish charities in the company's
marketing area. In line with the Jewish concept of tzedakah, or
charity, Tasty Baking Company will donate products to local Jewish
charitable organizations, food banks, Jewish summer camps and
Jewish Community Associations. "We are delighted that Tasty Baking
Company has agreed to make contributions of Tastykakes to
organizations which can direct their products to people in need,"
said Rabbi Genack. "There is nothing that can brighten a day better
than delicious pastries, particularly if they can be eaten with the
greatest confidence by those who keep kosher," he added. Tasty
