When to Eat Edy’s Outshine Ices?

Shailah of the Week by Rabbi Zvi Nussbaum

Rabbinic Coordinator, Kosher Hotline Administrator for the Orthodox Union

Everyone loves ices on a hot summer day! But what if we just grabbed a hot dog and need something refreshing and…parve?

Edy’s parent brand line of refreshing frozen snacks under the brand Outshine is a refreshing snack made with real ingredients like fruit and fruit juice. Great, but can it be eaten after the hot dog? Or, for that matter, after a Shabbos meal?

The Edy’s Outshine Creamy Coconut Fruit Bar and their Fruit and Cream bars are dairy, but there are also many parve flavors:

• Acai Blueberry

• Grape

•  Lemon

• Lime

• Mango

• Pineapple

• Pomegranate

• Strawberry; and

• Tangerine

As well as multi-packs featuring:

• Coconut, Pineapple, and Orange

• Grape, Cherry, and Tangerine

• Lime, Strawberry, and Wildberry

• No Sugar Added Black Cherry, Strawberry-Kiwi, and Mixed Berry; and  

• No Sugar Added Strawberry, Tangerine, and Raspberry

So go ahead and enjoy Outshine Ices after the hot dog, but watch out for the dairy flavors. If uncertain about a certification status please call the OU Kosher office at 212-613-8241 or email kosherq@ou.org.
