A:
Bay Traders is not certified Kosher. The only Kosher coffee sold by Staples is Folgers Classic Roast Ground Coffee, Regular, 48 oz. Can. However, for regular whole-bean, un-flavored coffee, no kosher certification is needed. The coffee can be treated like a raw vegetable and does not need a hechsher unless it has been chemically processed. Some people prefer the Kosher certification to ensure that the coffee has not been contaminated.
