In a new update, the Orthodox Union has officially ended its kosher certification of all Beech-Nut baby food items, effective immediately.
According to a public kashrus notice issued today, the OU clarified that although some jars and packages currently in stores may still display the OU symbol—indicating they were produced while certification was in place—any Beech-Nut baby food lacking the symbol should no longer be considered under their kosher oversight.
The presence of both certified and uncertified products on shelves is expected for a limited time due to existing stock.
The OU strongly advises shoppers to examine each label individually to confirm the OU symbol before making a purchase or feeding the product to a child.
