Cream Cheese

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

Yes. After extensive research and consistent badgering from his children and grandchildren, my father made a decision on cream cheese. He now holds that it does not require supervision. You can therefore go out and buy any cream cheese or product containing cream cheese as long as the ingredients are all Kosher, ie: no animal derivatives other than dairy and no hard cheeses. Initially it was deemed a regular cheese and as the Aruch Hashulchan stated, all cheeses are under the rules of cheese. This recent determination was based on the fact that in reality it isn't really cheese at all. Look into it, and you will find this out too.
