Question
We purchased melatonin pills from Zahler company with the kashrut of Rabbi Shlomo Tzvi Stern and also OU. The product is manufactured in the USA and it is noted that it has a natural grape flavor. We wanted to know if the kashrut is stringent and if there is no concern of yayin nesech?
Answer
Hello,
According to the instructions of our teacher, Rabbi shlita, we cannot comment on specific kashrut.
Regarding the main issue, if it concerns flavored pills, it is necessary to ensure they have kashrut.
If they are tasteless and taken by swallowing for medical purposes, kashrut is not required by law.
