Question
We want to know if canned tuna requires kosher certification, and if coffee beans and cocoa beans ground in the store need kosher certification as well?
Answer
Hello,
There are many kashrut issues with canned tuna, and it should only be purchased with reliable kosher certification.
In principle, you can buy in a store that grinds cold items that are not sharp by themselves. However, you must ensure that the ground product is kosher.
For example, coffee beans and cocoa beans require supervision to ensure that the roasting is done in a kosher oven and not together with non-kosher fats or flavorings.
Thank God, nowadays in Jerusalem, there are many stores with excellent supervision where you can purchase without concern.
Best regards
