See below - may question and the response from the Chof-K regarding Vitamin E that I bought in a "heimishe" store in Boro Park.Hi, I recently bought a few bottlles of Solgar vitamins from a frum shop in Boro Park. I assumed all were under hashgocho. One of the items was the Vitamin E gelcaps, and they have no hashgocho. The bottle says that it is \"suitable for vegetarians.\" Can you give me some insight on why most other items have the chof K and this does not? I'm just trying to figure out if I can use these. Thanks,
Sholom,The Vitamin E gelcaps are not Kosher. Approximately 50% of Solgar products are certified Kosher. The remainder are not certified each one for a different reason. In this case the product is made off-site in a facility that is non-Kosher due to non-Kosher being processed on the same equipment.
Ksivah V'Chasimah Tovah,
