grape products

Question

I am asking just to make sure I have not misunderstood. you did not give an definitive answer to the question if all grape juice is kosher but you did say that all grape jam/jelly soda is kosher. what is the difference Is it because all grape jams sodas etc have less than 1/6? or is it because these products are cooked? what about a juice drink containing grape where grape is one of the first ingredients? can you sum up when we have to worry about grape as an ingredient and when not. Thank you

Answered by Aaron Abadi

If it is likely to be less than 1/6th, like jelly/jam and soda, then with the combination of that and the fact that it's almost always cooked, it is OK. Otherwise, we are still confirming the pure grape juice issue. AA
