Dippin Dots

Every time we go to the zoo, we wonder if Dippin Dots are kosher. S and I have both heard that they are kosher in Pittsburgh and we always say we'll have to check it out when we get home. But we never do.
Tonight I was online catching up on e-mails and I have no idea what made me think of it but I went to the Dippin Dots website to check the kosher status. I saw the following paragraph in the FAQ section.
Are Dippin' Dots Kosher?

In addition to our plant being FDA and USDA approved, Dippin' Dots are certified Kosher. The certification is Kosher-Dairy for year-round use (excluding Passover) by the Vaad Hoeir of St.Louis, MO. The symbol for the Vaad Hoeir is a circled V.

I thought that was so interesting. I don't know if it was interesting that they are Kosher and no one knows it or it was interesting that it's the Vaad of St.Louis that certifies it. Anywhoo, I wanted to confirm so I went to the Vaad of St.Louis website but didn't find a list of places that they certify. So I e-mailed them and we'll see what I hear back!

And soon - perhaps we will be eating Dippin Dots. But it better be really soon because our Zoo membership expires at the end of August. And I don't know where else they sell them.

I'll keep you posted!

  • I have had it in Twelve Oaks. It's Kosher. You can have it wherever they sell it. You can ask to look at the containers to be sure it has the OV.

    Topic: Dippin' Dots Kiosks and Stores

    Issue: The OV certifies as kosher the Dippin' Dots ice cream products (Dairy-CholovStam)
    and ice products (Pareve) which are produced in Paducah , KY. Our certification is limited to
    these products and does not cover the kosher status of any other products served at Dippin' Dots
    kiosks or stores.
