UPDATE 5/12/25: Krembo’s kosher certification has been reinstated by the RCF, which announced the change publicly.
The details below are only accurate as of the original time of publishing. This article has been updated above.
Krembo No Longer Under RCF Supervision
Effective April 30, 2025, Krembo in Orlando is no longer under kosher supervision, following an official announcement by the Rabbinate of Central and North Florida (RCF). The restaurant, located at 8015 Turkey Lake Road, has had its hashgacha removed due to kashrus violations and non-compliance with kosher standards.
This action was announced in a public alert issued by RCF leadership and the decision was made to protect the integrity of kosher standards in the region.
Reasons for Removal
RCF noted that the decision to remove certification was based on clear kashrus violations and a lack of compliance with established kosher protocols. No specific details were given publicly regarding the nature of the violations, but the immediate removal reflects a serious breach of trust and standards required by the certifying agency.
This development is important for both local residents and visitors, especially during peak tourist seasons when kosher travelers rely on established certifications for dining options.
Implications for Kosher Diners
Krembo had been a convenient choice for kosher diners in the Orlando area. With its hashgacha now removed, consumers are advised to seek alternative certified establishments. The removal of certification means that food served at this establishment should no longer be considered reliably kosher until further notice from RCF or any future certifying agency.
Those seeking to maintain strict kosher observance are strongly encouraged to verify the current kosher status of any establishment before dining, especially when kashrus alerts such as this are issued. Diners should use our app KosherNearMe to find restaurants wherever they are traveling.
Address and Certification Status
Krembo is located at 8015 Turkey Lake Road, Orlando, FL 32819. As of April 30, 2025, the restaurant is no longer certified kosher by the Vaad RCF (Rabbinate of Central and North Florida) due to violations and non-compliance. The hashgacha has been removed indefinitely until further notice.
