When did the Oreo become a kosher food?

1998 is the year: The Oreo became kosher in 1998. All Oreo packing now bears a symbol, just above the package weight, verifying it as a kosher food. Hydrox cookies had long been a common kosher alternative, but, because not-as-tasty sort-of Oreos weren't super lucrative, they were discontinued in 2003. http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/03/06/100-years-of-oreos-9-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-iconic-cookie/ Here is an interesting story about the process of "koshering" the iconic cookie: http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/feb08/kosher.oreos.jl.html Dec 09 12, 6:54 AM

Unbelieveable that a highly successful company would destroy their popular product eaten by millions to make it a secondary ingredient for ice cream! This is not to say that Oreo's couldn't have been made in batches for the kosher market, but I do know that I quit buying them when they started tasting like cheap knockoffs of the original Oreos. http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/feb08/kosher.oreos.jl.html Dec 09 12, 9:30 PM
