According to Jewish law, they cannot be pumped with antibiotics, additives, hormones or fed animal byproducts. Kosherfest To meet demand, the industry has undergone radical changes, recognizing that kosher food is more than matzo, gefilte fish and borscht The transformation was on display last month in New York at Kosherfest 2005, a convention that drew more than 6,100 food-service buyers, manufacturers and distributors from 36 countries. "Anything that can be made kosher, is being made kosher," said Menachem Lubinsky, who founded Kosherfest. "Even the Chinese are going kosher." Kosher dumpling wrappers no problem Asian sesame ginger noodle and Thai chili sauce? They got it. Italian kosher.

It's in abundance. If any one food is leading the kosher charge, it might be humus. One of the biggest humus makers is Sabra Go Mediterranean, produced by Blue White Food Products in New York. "Today, all the hippies buy this stuff," said Nissim Ohana, who distributes Sabra products. Going mainstream The Idaho-based Albertsons is just one of many companies around the country competing to get a lucrative slice of an approximately $9 billion kosher industry that is growing at a rate of 15 percent a year.

Experts say the boom is being fueled by several factors, including vegetarians and younger customers looking for healthier and safer food the same demographic that has helped the organic market take off. Plenty of these customers are not Jewish. Kosher craze Marcia Mogelonsky, a senior research analyst with Mintel International Group, a Chicago-based consulting firm, recently completed a nationwide study in April that produced some surprising results. She found 55 percent of the people who buy kosher products believed the food was better for them almost double the number in a similar study Mogelonsky conducted in 2003. "They trust the kosher symbol like they'd trust the Good Housekeeping seal," she said.

Part of the trust, Mogelonsky said, is derived from how the ani Trend is mitzvah for Hebrew National's new Quincy plant By Adam Goldman Associated Press NEW YORK When Albert-sons hired Yakov Yarmove more than three years ago, the company found a point man to navigate what might seem like an unlikely market for a grocery chain with stores in places like Cheyenne, and Evanston, 111.: kosher food. Albertsons, one of the nation's largest grocery chains, has since dramatically expanded kosher aisles at hundreds of its supermarkets across the country. The company has also launched more than two dozen kosher destination stores. "There's a kosher awakening," said Yarmove, an observant Jew who is Albertsons's corporate kosher, marketing and operations manager. "Kosher was perceived as scary and foreign.

Now it's perceived as chic. I think everybody is realizing that there is an opportunity." Kosher in Michigan Lou Nieto, president of packaged meats at ConAgra, said two things are driving the double-digit growth at Hebrew National, which recently opened a new. state-of-the-art kosher facility in Quincy, between Coldwater and Hillsdale. "First and foremost is taste but No. 2 is that it's 100 percent kosher beef nothing artificial," Nieto said, who oversees the Hebrew National brand.

He added that sales were being bolstered by non-Jewish customers, who devour the company's popular hot dogs at hundreds of venues across the United States. Jon, FLORIS' 809 E. Michigan, Lansing Jf Mt. HOPE MONUMENT CO. 2529 E.
