Hip Hoop Hurray! Popular snack gets kosher approval
Sephardi Kashrut Authority (SKA) offers Hula Hoop Original fans a reason to celebrate
The Sephardi Kashrut Authority has approved all sizes of Hula Hoops original as Kosher Pareve.
Rabbi David Neifeld, SKA director of operations said: “SKA works around the clock to make Kosher food as accessible as possible without compromising on Halacha (Jewish Law). We have carried out extensive research into this product and are delighted that we can give our approval”.
The news comes three months after the Kosher London Beth Din (KLBD), which falls under the auspices of the United Synagogue and Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, announced that ready salted crisps by Aldi Snackrite, ASDA, Lidl Snaktastic, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Tesco Stockwell & Co are now approved Parev.
Consumers will be delighted they no longer have to jump through hoops to enjoy the age-old crisp favourite.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
