Kosher

Bendicks and KLBD are delighted to announce that following in-depth consultation, the iconic brand will retain its Kosher Certification. The next few months will see the return of the KLBD logo to the packaging.

Available stock of all varieties remains kosher certified Parev, with or without the KLBD logo.

Rabbi Elie Schoemann, Interim Director of KLBD, said: “We are so pleased to be able to make this announcement today. We had heard rumours of stockpiling in parts of the Jewish community and are relieved that kosher consumers can now buy Bendicks from any store in any part of the country. I would like to thank the Bendicks and KLBD teams for making this possible. In a world full of difficult news, we hope this small ray of sunshine will bring some happiness to Friday night dinner tables across the community.”

There are no kosher l'Pesach junior pain killers available in the UK. 

Paracetamol suppositories may be used as an alternative.

If a child requires liquid medication, for example Paracetamol or Ibuprofen, it is permitted to give it even when there is no danger to life. Such medication should be included in the Sale of Chametz but may be used if necessary.

Previous guidance regarding the use of Paracetamol Powders could be misleading and should be disregarded.
