    KASHRUS ALERTS September 22, 2019 A Service of the COR of Greater Detroit [Page 1] HONEY: • Standard honey goes through a filtering process, which removes the non-Kosher bee parts. Even “raw and unfiltered” honey is usually strained, to remove the bee parts. However, some completely unprocessed honeys are neither filtered nor strained. If the label or the manufacturer states that the honey is not strained, or if bee parts are visible, that honey should be avoided or should be strained by the consumer. • Please be aware that “ Forest honey”, “ Honeydew honey”, and “ Beechwood honey” (or honey named after other types of trees such as Pine, Fir, Oak, etc.), generally refer to honey produced by bees that have consumed the non-Kosher excretions of aphids and scale insects left on trees (as opposed to standard honey produced from flower nectar). These are not considered Kosher according to some opinions, and should be avoided. • “Royal Jelly” is a bee product that, unlike regular honey, is an actual secretion of the bee. Some Poskim therefore rule that it is not included in the permitted category of “honey”, and it should be avoided. FISH HEADS: [From New Square Kashrus Council] • White fish: White fish heads are free of infestation concern. • Salmon/Baby salmon: Salmon heads [even farm raised] are commonly infested with salmon lice (small brownish parasites ranging in size from approximately 1-3 cm). · The entire gills must be removed. (It may be easier to first cut the head in half before cleaning). · Rinse the head thoroughly with water while rubbing all surfaces of the head (inside and outside), including all cracks, crevices and folds, and under and around the tongue.

  • The Halal / Kosher Chart
    THE HALAL / KOSHER CHART The Charting Process Given the current climate and issues surrounding Kosher and Halal, the original intention was to create a simple Halal/Kosher comparison chart. On first appearances, it seemed that similarities far outweighed differences. An outcome of creating this chart, indicates that this belief is unsustainable. Information gathered fell into four areas, which appeared to parallel their commonalities. Scriptures and Laws Slaughter and its ramifications Certification Impact on consumers What seemed at first to involve a simple exercise in a comparison of commonalities demanded the exact opposite, an exercise in attending to the detail, for it is here that vast differences arise. What soon became evident was that the differences far outweigh any similarity. On reviewing the limited Halal / Kosher comparative literature, it soon became apparent that vital basic details have not been addressed adequately, if at all. Too abundant to include in this chart, are all the multifaceted, detailed Kosher laws and rabbinical responses. While there are some great rabbinical experts in Kosher, they don’t seem familiar with the details of Halal. Similarly, Imams or other writers, tend to have little knowledge of the intricacies of Kosher. Limited perspectives have contributed to many people’s belief that Halal and Kosher are two historical peas in a slaughterhouse, The media has oversimplified and enmeshed these ostensible twins, often calling for a ban on all forms of ritual meat preparation. It is well accepted that Kosher was the blueprint for Halal. Most Muslims will eat Kosher and accept Kosher-certified goods. However, in the detail, Halal is miles away from anything that resembles Kosher.
