" DE " means made on lines that have " Dairy Equipment "

Beth,

I buy the soy free ones at Passover time in the regular supermarkets. I

stock up for the year. There are a few companies that put them out only

at that time.

Thanks. BTW, what is not Kosher about soy, anyway?

Just curious. Do you know?

I do keep kosher, but I'm not a rabbi. All vegetarian products are kosher

and parve (neither meat nor dairy). Exceptions apply during Passover, when

Ashkenazi Jews (Jews of the Eastern European tradition) avoid legumes

( " kitniyot " ) as well, and that would include soy. If you're interested in

the status of legumes for Passover, a pretty good explanation is here:
