Sorry kosher sex fans, but the California rabbinical group that was set to certify Wet personal lubricants as kosher has yanked its hechsher.
We know this is hard to swallow, but here’s deliciously worded statement:
As reported in the media, the Rabbinical Council of California’s Kashrut Division was in the final stages of certifying products produced by Trigg Laboratories.
Certification of non-edible items is common in the kosher industry, but the intended uses of these items as now revealed, was misunderstood.
The RCC has rescinded its certification with immediate effect, and deeply regrets the widespread consternation that this error caused.
This lube would likely been widely used by gay men for a type of sex expressly forbidden by the Torah.
Outcast Yid writes on FM: “A hechsher for personal lubricants is ridiculous on its face. These are the same bozos who blew it on supervision of Doheny Kosher Meats. I think they’ve been too focused on bug checking. Back to basics, fellas.”
