Cannot confirm if OK. Mushrooms may have bugs. Other ingredients are fine. If it means a lot to you, try contacting PREGO, and see what country they get their mushrooms from. Then speak with Rabbi Gissinger from Lakewood, who can possibly confirm if they are bug free. If they are dehydrated, then they're OK, too. Same problem with an OU brand. AA
