From The Jerusalem Post:
NEW YORK - Religious Jews in the New York region may have to look elsewhere for a Shavuot delicacy, after learning that their favorite cheesecake lost its Kosher trademark this week.
Junior's, a longtime Brooklyn establishment known for having the best cheesecake in New York, appears on a list of 'Kosher Alerts' newly posted on the Orthodox Union's website. With immediate effect, its products are 'no longer certified by the Orthodox Union and will no longer bear the OU symbol.'
The restaurant, which opened in 1950, is not kosher, but its mail-order cheesecakes had until now been approved by the OU, one of the largest kosher trademarks.
But over Passover, when a non-Jewish foreman baked a batch of cheesecake for a long-time customer [a major no-no], the OU pulled the plug.
According to third generation owner Alan Rosen, 'it was basically a mistake.'
