04 Apr 2011

SMILEYCOOKIE.COM NOW OFFERS OU KOSHER-CERTIFIED SMILEY COOKIES; FULL SUITE OF SMILEY COOKIE DESIGNS VIA ONLINE SITE UNDER CERTIFICATION

Beginning today, any Smiley Cookie ordered through www.SmileyCookie.com will be OU Kosher certified, according to Adam Golomb, director, e-Commerce, www.SmileyCookie.com.

The fresh-baked, hand-iced gourmet cookies received kosher certification from the Orthodox Union. Smiley Cookies are baked and packed at a state-of-the-art 40,000-square-foot kosher bakery and distribution center, where they are manufactured under the supervision of the OU. The entire suite of Smiley Cookies ordered through www.SmileyCookie.com is certified kosher dairy, or OU-D.

Smileycookie.com sought OU certification because it’s the world’s largest and most respected kosher certification agency and symbol. “As the SmileyCookie.com brand continues to grow, we know it is important to many of our customers that we subscribe to rigorous OU standards,” said Golomb. “Now, even more people can enjoy the delicious decadence of the Smiley Cookie.”

Rabbi Eliyahu Safran, OU Kosher’s vice president of communications and marketing, welcomed Smiley Cookies to the ever-growing kosher marketplace. “We are pleased to provide kosher certification for Smiley Cookies ordered through SmileyCookie.com,” said Rabbi Safran. The OU certifies hundreds of thousands of products in more than 90 countries throughout the world. “Now, consumers will begin seeing the OU symbol associated with the much sought-after Smiley Cookies,” Rabbi Safran added.

In addition to being kosher certified, SmileyCookie.com also recently announced that its products ordered through www.SmileyCookie.com are nut-free.
