Wowzers boys and girls, it seems that Duncan Hines may return to the glory days of pareve cake mixes once again. Well, we say it’s about time. We are almost out of the supply we squirreled away when they went dairy.
Check out the story as it appeared in this week’s Kosher Today:
Cherry Hill, NJ…More than a year after it added dairy ingredients to its OU certified line of cake mixes,
Pinnacle Foods is moving back to Pareve. Although
KosherToday was not able to verify the report, a source told
KosherToday that the move had already been made and that an announcement by the company is imminent.
KosherToday will, of course, update the story in a future edition. Pinnacle Foods’ decision last year to go dairy caused an outcry from many kosher consumers who used the cake mixes for dairy, meat, and pareve meals. It was also criticized by many of the 56 million Americans who are lactose intolerant. A similar decision by Stella Dora of
Nabisco several years ago was greeted by a large outcry by consumers, which caused the company to reverse the decision.
Duncan Hines was owned by
Procter and Gamble for many years but when it experienced difficulty was sold to Pinnacle Foods, based in Cherry Hill, NJ, which also acquired such well-known kosher brands as
Lender’s Bagels.
