We regret to inform you that by Thursday, March 30, several items sold in the Marketplace’s produce department were incorrectly labeled as being CHK certified.
● mushroom It is used in stir-fries and is labeled Passover Kosher.
We are aware of the potential cashews for Pessac problems with these mushrooms and as a precaution, do not use them. , wash the rest of the items before preparing.already cooked food Before You can eat the peasacks, but I recommend removing the mushrooms.when cooked in the meantime During Passover, food should be thrown away, and cookware (and ovens if uncovered and baked) should be treated as non-kosher for Passover.
●Products including non-Pessac certified products garlic powder:
“Garlic Potatoes Ready to Bake” were incorrectly labeled as Passover Kosher.if already cooked Before Pessac, may be eaten. Food should be discarded if cooked during Passover, and cookware (and ovens if baked without a lid) should be treated as non-kosher for Passover.

● Brussels sprouts, spring mix, green and red cabbage, triple washed cut kale, washed check mixed cabbage, washed check coleslaw, endive and more. (labeled as Passover Kosher) or packed under CHK still need to be cleaned and checked properly.
Note or Cut celery, dill, coriander, parsley and romaine lettucewashed and checked under CHK and is Passover Kosher if labeled.
● diced red onion and chopped onion It can only be used if it tastes a little salty.
A common practice in Chabad is to peel all vegetables with a pesak. All unpeeled vegetables should be peeled according to custom. Mixed Squash Noodles, Green Squash Noodles, and Beet Noodles may be checked for any unpeeled parts that need to be removed before using the rest.
Similarly, a common Chabad practice is to not use ginger in pesak.
We would like to thank the management of Market Place for working with CHK to address these issues going forward.
I would like to remind the public that it is important to ensure that all foods are marked as Passover Kosher.
I wish you a kosher and joyful Passover.
