Kosher Status of Prenatal Vitamins Commonly Used by Pregnant Women

AA

Question

Hello, honored rabbi. There are many discussions about this topic on the internet, and I only now thought to look into it because, in checking the kosher status for Passover, I discovered that the product is not on the general list, and in fact there is no kosher certification on it at all. In every pregnancy I take "Prenatal" in the blue-and-pink box; this is what every doctor gives to pregnant and nursing women. It is manufactured in Canada, and it is a pill with no special coating and no flavor. A dietary supplement, vitamins, and minerals...... Is it really a problem to take it???? We are Sephardi, if that makes a difference. Thank you very much!!!!

Answer

Hello and blessings

There are similar products from other companies with top-level kosher certification, and one should not consume it without kosher certification.

With blessings,
