Cherries, frozen Status: Acceptable Without a Hechsher In general, plain raw/fresh fruit (including frozen and purees) is acceptable without hashgachah, unless it (a) contains kosher-sensitive ingredients, (b) comes from Israel, or (c) is infested. [Cherries are not infested. To see if other fruits are infested, search for that specific fruit.] Most dehydrated fruit is acceptable from any source, with some exceptions including apples, bananas, raisins, and cranberries. Fruit which is pickled (e.g., olives) or freeze-dried requires certification.
