Kosher Pop Tarts, almost
KBlog reader David writes in to share this news:
Nature’s Path has a new line of toaster pastries that taste just like Pop Tarts — as I remember them, anyway. Got ‘em in my local (Los Angeles) Trader Joe’s.
The Nature’s Path website lists three flavors — strawberry, blueberry, and apple-cinnamon — all available frosted or unfrosted, and all OU-Dairy, USDA Organic, and free of trans-fats.
Search for retailers, or buy online.

Got another box recently, this one with a heksher from “WK” - other Nature’s Path products use this too. I don’t know if they’re switching b/t the two certifiers or what’s going on…
Nope, they’re all OU-D. My mistake.
While I wishfully had high hopes for this product and scoured NYC health food stores to find it, I must report that while these items may be natural, they are no Pop Tarts. They are sorely lacking in filling and the pastry is very dry as compared to real P.T. I have tried several letter campaigns to Kellog’s to push for kosher P.T. The filling in P.T. is Smuckers, which is OU, and the non-frosted do not contain gelatin. If Eggos can be OU, why not P.T.? Maybe with this new product on the market, it is time for a new e-mail campaign.
I must agree with Joe’s review of the product… Unfortunately not in the “Tastes Like Treyf” category.
But they’re not bad
I bought a box the week before our local ShopRite stopped carrying them. I thought the kids would like them, but no. I thought they tasted fine though.
hi, we loved this product! We were very happy to have a kosher, healthy-ish morning snack that tastes a lot like an old favorite.
My hubby preferred the non-icing type, me the iced type. We tried Apple, Strawberry, Blueberry too I think. We ate 5+ boxes in a month.
