The news media has been very vocal on the kosher food industry and the benefits of kosher food. If one were to generalize a theme that the media wished to infuse, simply look at the quote from New York Times article Variety is Spice of Rokeach Food of October 19, 1958: “Kosher foods are synonymous in the public’s mind with cleanliness, purity and high quality.”
The following are titles of articles appearing in the New York Times that are related to kosher food, its industry or certification. In future updates of the KosChertified? app we hope to present the actual articles themselves, so that the end-user can discover the rich history of a movement. The titles alone tell quite a story about early corruption, law making, war repercussions, early certification agencies, challenges by critics, strikes, protests, prisoner rights, price gouging, and of course – the positive benefits of kosher foods. If you have a New York Times digital subscription for their Time Machine, we have provided the details below for you to pull up the article on your own for your independent reading. Otherwise, it may be possible to read portions of the articles by searching the titles at their website https://www.nytimes.com/:
