Kosher Coke

D

deftron

Lifer
All they had in 2 liters at the store

Seems to have Sucrose(sugar) instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup

Tastes sweeter, but actually has less Sugar/Carb grams
 
I'm curious as to how they denote that the product is kosher. Is it the same as with most products with the little symbol tucked away somwhere or is it more prominent?

Kosher is alot more complicated than just pork. I tried to find out how it worked from a Jewish friend, needless to say, it left me 😕
 
Interesting http://www.ajhs.org/publications/chapters/chapter.cfm?documentID=270

Cliffs:
Guy discovered that an ingredient was glycerin made from non-kosher beef tallow.
Coca-cola scientists went to work finding a substitute for tallow-based glycerin and discovered that Proctor and Gamble produced a glycerin from cottonseed and coconut oil.
Guy gave his hecksher, or seal of approval, for Coke to be marketed as kosher.
However the formula for Coke included traces of alcohol that were a by-product of grain kernels.
Since anything derived from grains is chametz, or forbidden at Passover, Coca-Cola could not be certified kosher for use at Passover even after the formula was changed to include vegetable based glycerin.
They could substitute sweeteners produced from beet sugar and cane sugar for grain-based ones without compromising Coke?s taste.
They agreed to start manufacturing Coke with the new sugars several weeks before Passover each year.

The Coke has a yellow cap
with Hebrew letters on it

Also, the bottle is stamped PASSOVER


I think a K in a circle is a symbol used on other products
that are Kosher all the time (Passover Kosher is different, more strict)

I think normal Coke is Kosher not during passover ...
 
i keep kosher and i'm pretty sure there's no such thing as "non-kosher" coke (with the exception of flavored sodas, particularly welch's and others in that category)

as for "kosher for passover," yes, that's when corn syrup is not allowed. but during the year, it's always allowed.

Nothing like a Danish Coke, and a Dublin Dr.Pepper, both made with cane sugar.

Dublin DrPepper is like heaven in a 20oz bottle.
I may need to find some of this "kosher coke" 🙂

QFT

The Dublin, Tx plant is the original, and only one still making DrPepper with the original recipe. Best ever. Also, glass bottle FTW.

I'd really like to try these Kosher cokes, but It's doubtful they have them in my market, although I can get the mexican ones. 😛

i'm gonna look for this
 
I used to work as a QC tech for Coca Cola in New Jersey. Every year around Passover we had the Rabbi from a local synagogue come in and make sure we were making the Coke with sucrose. You can definitely tell a difference between the sucrose and hfcs. I never liked coke, but I could drink the kosher stuff all day.

doesn't a designated rabbi have to be on site where the product was made to have it be called kosher?

Not for the entire run of kosher product, just at the start to "certify" it as kosher.
