Kosherfest has come and gone and now it is timeto shmooz about what kosher certified products you should know about. Who is the kosher consumer? According to reports on the kosher consumer, 1,250,000 is the number of year Round Kosher Jewish Consumers and 3,000,000 is the total number of Muslims and other religions eating kosher products. Why are non-Jewish people also kosher consumers? 55% feel that a kosher certified product is healthier and safer. More than 500 newly kosher certified foods were introduced at the 21st annual kosher food, beverage, wine & spirits trade show – Kosherfest 2009 – at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, NJ last week. The kosher symbol seems to be everywhere these days, from exotic sauces and convenient heat ‘n serve foods, to gourmet and customized desserts as well as non-dairy, non-soy and gluten-free products in every food category.
