In Chabad, we are always careful to consume only Cholov and Pas Yisroel products year round. The Rebbe often advised people to consume only Cholov Yisroel to strengthen their Emunah, and to be extra careful in eating strictly kosher for a Refuah Shelimah. However, some people are not Cholov Yisroel or Pas Yisroel adherent year-round, but the Shulchan Oruch says we should consume only Pas Yisroel during the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah (and Shabbos and Yom Tov).
Finding a comprehensive list of all OK certified Cholov Yisroel and Pas Yisroel products is now just a click away. You’ll be surprised to find brands from national chain stores that produce Pas Yisroel treats that can be enjoyed wherever you travel in the USA!

Unlike cholov yisroel, which is a halacha, pas yisroel is a HIDDUR. The accepted halacha is that bread from goyishe bakeries is 100% kosher, however one should be machmir on Shabbos if possible, and during the Aseres Yemei Teshuvah.

But there are some caveats: (1) The Radvaz (who was a rebbe of the Ari Zal) holds that there was never any gezera; many Sefardim and some Litvaks follow his opinion. (2) Reb Moshe, who in his time was the major… Read more »
Read the article that’s not what it says!!!
it says that in the Shulchon oruch it says that even people that are not careful with py or cy all year round should be extra careful in the aseres yemai teshuvah
The article is just written in a respectful way.
No hard feelings hope you have a great year
CY and PY are not the same category at all. SA says to be more stringent on PY during AYT. CY would be it’s own long commentary here
Nice list. More helpful would be a list which includes ALL hashgachos…..there are many more pas yisroel products out there. Kashrus supervision is fragmented and this hurts consumers.
Some agency has to be more idealistic and willing to share info from their competition.
This is not a complete list.
