Is Tillamook Old-Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream kosher?
Ingredients: Cream, skim milk, sugar, pasteurized egg yolks, vanilla extract, tara gum, guar gum, vanilla bean, natural flavor.
Does ice cream typically need a hashgacha? The ingredients usually seem straightforward. Is there a concern about any flavors or cross-contamination?
Thank you so much!
They do not need a hashgachah. You are correct. If you go to some strange place where they put catfish or chicken in the ice cream, you might wanna run for it.
But all kidding aside, all normal ice cream is fine in the USA, Canada, Europe, India etc.
Certain parts of Asia have eating habits that are strange to us, so it would need more research.
