Strauss Mehadrin Moves to R’ Rubin

5 Shvat 5770
January 20, 2010

r-landau-logoAfter maintaining a presence for a number of years, the popular mehadrin hechsher of Rav Rabbi Moshe Yehuda Leib Landau Shlita will no longer give his supervision for Strauss mehadrin line products.

The official announcement was released by R’ Landau earlier on Wednesday, stating as of Thursday morning, 6 Shvat 5770 (21 January 2010), he will no longer grant supervision to Strauss Dairy.

Those items on store shelves with R’ Landau’s seal remain approved and mehadrin.

    That’s big news! I wonder if they will get alternative mehadrin status, and how many restaurants will be inadvertently using them, unsure of what’s going on.

    Any ideas why?
    Is the new hechsher more strict, less strict, or same?
