The Chief Rabbinate of Israel has instructed all retail food
stores to remove chewing gum and gum candies under the
kashrus supervision of Rabbi Leiberson of Mexico from
their shelves.
The banned products, sold in general as well as chareidi
retail food outlets, include a colored chewing gum under the
"Disc" brand name and gum candies manufactured by Farn-
Lan.
Tests conducted by kashrus experts have indicated
that there are serious kashrus problems in the plants
in which these products are manufactured.
The Chief Rabbinate has ordered that all above mentioned
products under the supervision of Rabbi Leiberson be removed
from the shelves.
