We’ve made the difficult decision to pause our Kosher certification as of April 2nd, 2026 due to ingredient sourcing and production limitations - not product quality. Learn what this means and how to identify certified products during the transition.

<h2 id="1-are-mid-day-squares-still-kosher-certified">1. Are Mid-Day Squares still Kosher certified?</h2>Short answer:No - products produced on or after April 2nd, 2026 are no longer Kosher certified.Our official statement:As of April 2nd, 2026, Mid-Day Squares products are no longer Kosher certified.This was not a decision we took lightly. From the beginning, we&#x2019;ve worked hard to earn and maintain Kosher certification because we know how important it is to many members of our community.As we prepared to launch a new flavor, we were unable to source one key ingredient in a Kosher-certified format, despite extensive efforts.Because all of our products are made on a single production line, we are unable to alternate between Kosher and non-Kosher production without undergoing a formal kosherization process between runs. This is a specific religious procedure and not something that can be done operationally at the scale and frequency required.As a result, products produced on or after April 2nd, 2026 are no longer Kosher certified.We understand this may be disappointing, and we&#x2019;re truly sorry to those who relied on this certification.<hr><h2 id="2-why-did-mid-day-squares-stop-being-kosher-certified">2. Why did Mid-Day Squares stop being Kosher certified?</h2>The change comes down to ingredient sourcing and production limitations.We were unable to secure one key ingredient in a Kosher-certified form for an upcoming product, despite significant effort.Because we manufacture all flavors on a single production line, maintaining Kosher certification would require performing a full kosherization process between production runs. This process is separate from standard sanitation and is not currently feasible for us to perform repeatedly. As a result,&#xA0;we made the difficult decision to pause Kosher certification.<hr><h2 id="3-has-anything-changed-about-the-product">3. Has anything changed about the product?</h2>No - nothing about the product itself has changed.<ul><li style="font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Ingredients &#x2192; unchanged</li><li style="font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Taste &#x2192; unchanged</li><li style="font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Quality &#x2192; unchanged</li><li style="font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Food safety standards &#x2192; unchanged</li></ul>This change is strictly related to certification status, not the product itself.<hr><h2 id="4-how-can-i-tell-if-my-product-is-still-kosher-certified">4. How can I tell if my product is still Kosher certified?</h2>You can identify this directly on the packaging:<ul><li style="font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&#x2705; Products with the &#x201C;COR&#x201D; symbol &#x2192; Kosher certified</li><li style="font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">&#x274C; Products without the symbol &#x2192; Not Kosher certified</li></ul>During this transition period, both versions may exist in stores.<hr><h2 id="5-are-any-mid-day-squares-still-kosher-certified">5. Are any Mid-Day Squares still Kosher certified?</h2>During the transition period, some previously produced inventory remains Kosher certified.You may still find Kosher-certified products in retail stores while inventory lasts.If your squares have the &quot;COR&quot; symbol on the packaging, they are Kosher. <hr><h2 id="6-do-mid-day-squares-still-follow-kosher-standards">6. Do Mid-Day Squares still follow Kosher standards?</h2>While our products are no longer Kosher certified, we continue to maintain high standards of:<ul><li style="font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Ingredient quality</li><li style="font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Manufacturing processes</li><li style="font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Food safety and sanitation</li></ul>However, without official certification, we cannot represent the products as Kosher.Customers who follow a Kosher diet should use their own discretion based on their personal standards.<hr><h2 id="7-will-mid-day-squares-become-kosher-certified-again">7. Will Mid-Day Squares become Kosher certified again?</h2>We hope so.We are actively working to find a Kosher-certified source for the ingredient in question. If we&#x2019;re able to secure a reliable and sustainable solution, we would absolutely pursue reinstating certification.This is something we care deeply about and will continue to explore.<hr><h2 id="8-does-this-affect-food-safety-or-cleanliness">8. Does this affect food safety or cleanliness?</h2>No - not at all.This change is not related to food safety or sanitation.Kosher certification involves specific religious processes that are separate from standard food safety practices.We continue to maintain strict food safety and quality standards across all products.

To our community,This one is difficult to write.From the beginning, it has always been our intention to supply products that are kosher certified. We worked extremely hard to earn that certification, and we know how meaningful it is to many of you who have supported usEffective April 2nd, 2026, products produced by Mid-Day Squares will no longer be certified kosher.Here is the honest reason.We manufacture all of our products on one production line. As we prepare to launch a new flavor, we have been unable to source one key ingredient in kosher-certified form, despite significant effort and outreach.Because we produce multiple flavors each week on a single line, we cannot alternate between kosher and non-kosher production without undergoing the formal kosherization process between production runs.&#xA0;We always maintain extremely high standards of sanitation and food safety. This is not about cleanliness. The kosherization process is a separate, careful religious procedure, and repeating it between production runs is not operationally feasible for us at this time.&#xA0;For that reason, products produced on or after&#xA0;April 2nd, 2026, will no longer be kosher-certified.What is important to know:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The product quality has not changed</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The formulation has not changed</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The taste has not changed</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Our safety standards have not changed</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Our values have not changed</li></ul>Although this change will take effect promptly, there will continue to be kosher&#x2011;certified products available online and in retail stores during the transition period.&#xA0;How to identify which products remain kosher-certified:<ul><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Products that feature the &#x201C;COR&#x201D; badge on the front of the packaging remain kosher-certified.</li><li dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: none; font-family: Inter; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">All products that do not feature the &quot;COR&quot; badge will&#xA0;not&#xA0;be kosher-certified</li></ul>We are still actively searching for kosher-certified suppliers for this ingredient. If we are able to secure a viable and protected supply chain solution, we would pursue reinstating certification. It remains something we care deeply about.To our kosher community, we are sincerely sorry. We understand this may be disappointing. Please know this decision was made carefully and responsibly.We will continue to keep you updated as we work toward a solution.Thank you for your trust.Thank you for your patience.And thank you for being part of this journey with us.
