Cereal Not Pas Yisroel
Kashrus Advisory: Post's Shredded Wheat cereal produced on or after May 22, 2009 will no longer be considered Pas Yisroel. The OK Labs reports that the product was never advertised as Pas Yisroel; it was word of mouth.

Perhaps we should put your spelling abilities one step higher on the list
why does this website have the
most randome stuff posted im sure theres
more importent things then cerial!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Answer: Never. The issue surrounding breakfast cereal is a modern one, especially taking into consideration the way in which it is prepared, etc. Therefore it is a shaaloh for modern day poskim, among whom opinions vary. As ususal, consult a competent orthodox rabbi.
Can someone from the OK please clarify?
To all,
Don’t post if you don’t know. Before posting ask yourself, when was the last time I learned these Simonim in the Shluchan Aruch
The issue of cereal being pas yisroel is a chumroh that some have. There are several leniencies regarding cereal that make the issue of pas yisroel less applicable inckuding that it does not have the form of bread. I believe most Rabbonim in the OK would agree that cereal does not have to be pas yisroel. However, since it had been publicized that Post cereals were pas yisroel, and it seems that most others will continue to maintain this status, it is only the responsible thing to do for them to post this notification (no pun intended).
In one of the last issues Rabbi Honoka published an article stating that granola bars do not need to be pas yisroel. Why would cereal need to be any different. Who ever posted this article, please explain.
I highly doubt these Rabbis would confuse Pas yisroel with Bishul yisroel and aplply the law of Bishul Yisroel (shulchon malachim) to pas.
i thought it doesn’t need to be since it’s not Olah al Shulchon Melochim.
Like i know many poeple who eat Role Gold pretzels for the same reason. Oo course each should follow thier own Rov accordingly.
Also said no need for pas yisroel on cereals
Isn’t Shreded Wheat steamed not baked?
פת ישמעל
Rabbi Dvorkin said that Cereal does not need to be pas yisroel as it it not derech lasim al shulchonm malachim
