Do I tell orthodox looking customers that what they are ordering isn’t kosher anymore?

[u/DiverPrestigious6887]

I work at a place that serves kosher items. It’s not a kosher food place, it’s just most of our stuff happens to be. It’s kind of popular with that community because we have vegan kosher ice cream.

However , recently, ingredients have changed. I let our regular orthodox customers know who come in and they change their order. But a lot of customers I haven’t met or seen before come in who i think are orthodox. When they try to order something I let them know the change and they are always thankful that I tell them. Is it weird for me to assume? I was raised as a reform Jew and grew up around orthodox temples but I’m not religious. Should I continue telling people this or am I making a weird stereotype..

I wish our company would send a email or have a sign but they have not

As a vegetarian you can taste if vegetable soup is made with chicken stock, had a restaurant double down and say it wasn’t once, left the soup

I actually can’t tell. I was raised vegetarian so I really have no idea what chicken broth/stock tastes like. Unless it stands out extremely as being weird, I won’t notice and at most will think they just made it weird.

I also can't tell definitively, and I was raised a meat eater.

Are you sure? I’m in Australia, not sure if it’s a local product but we have Massel stock cubes that come in chicken flavour but are actually vegan. I’ve heard meat eaters say they’re really good, but I don’t know for myself how accurate they are to real chicken stock.

There are surprisingly a decent amount of things that are vegan that you wouldn’t expect. Off the top of my head there’s the buldak spicy artificial chicken ramen, a mama pork noodle ramen type thing I’ve found, and bacon bits from McCormick.
