(Courtesy of OU Kosher) Jelly Belly has informed the Orthodox Union that due to changes in one of their factories, Jelly Belly products produced in that location will soon no longer be kosher. There is no change in the Jelly Belly formulation, but because of production changes, other non-kosher products will be produced on shared equipment.

As a result, all Jelly Belly products sold outside of North America will soon appear in packaging without an OU symbol. Some limited production Jelly Belly items (mostly seasonal items) in North America will also lose their OU symbol. All bulk Jelly Belly jelly beans sold in North America will continue to be produced under OU’s supervision and most retail-sized varieties that North American consumers see in stores will remain certified as well. Consumers are encouraged to check for the OU symbol on all Jelly Belly packaging before purchasing the products.
