These products have the status of shmitta and should not be
purchased. Israeli oranges, grapefruits and persimmons are
acceptable this year, but will have shmitta status next year because
their flowering and most of their growth was during shmitta. They

Nut Mix and Trail Mix) contain dairy ingredients as listed on the
