Circle-V Kosher Symbol, Einstein Bagels, Ebcatering Inc., Pita Palace, Baskin Robbins, Instant & Minute Rice

Circle-V Kosher Symbol: The Circle-V symbol is nearly identical to the symbol used to indicate that a product is vegan. This has caused much confusion so The Vaad Hoeir of St. Louis is modifying its kosher symbol. The new logo will be an OVK in an oval. Consumers may notice the new symbol on some Publix Salad Greens.

Einstein Bagels sold at Toco Hills Publix in the self-service area in front of the kosher bakery are AKC certified pareve and Pas Yisrael. Einstein Bagels sold in non-kosher Einstein bagel Stores are not approved. Publix Bakery products that do not carry an AKC are not approved unless it is confirmed that it came from the kosher bakery.
