"Look for the special tag with the Hechsher attached to each can."
(Typing error corrected from previous post on "pareve" from 1939--ed.)

   I couldn't find "hechsher" or "heksher" in the OED or in Merriam-Webster.
John Mariani's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOOD and Alan Davidson's OXFORD
COMPANION TO FOOD don't have it.  Those books don't even mention "pareve"!
   Google has 228 hits for "heksher" and 1,940 hits for "hechsher."
   Below is the earliest "heksher" in the NYPL catalog and is of possible
use:
