Fast Casual.com, insights for innovative restaurants, reported that apart from their appeal to Jewish consumers, Kosher foods are embraced by a diverse community world-wide. Studies have shown part of that broad appeal is due to the fact that a large segment of Jewish and non-Jewish consumers alike, buy Kosher certified foods based on their belief that they are manufactured to superior standards of food-safety. Today Kosher certified products are one of the fastest growing segments of the food industry, with annual sales exceeding $200 billion in North America. This hard-won public confidence has inspired a prominent Rabbi in Vancouver, Canada, to launch an innovative Kosher food certification program named 'Kosher Check.' This new Kosher standard will incorporate, for the first time in history, enhanced food-safety protocol as a principal requirement. According to Rabbi Avraham Feigelstock, Kosher Check has been designed specifically to inform consumers that the products it certifies not only meet strict Kosher standards, but also, that the manufacturers of such foods have warranted that their operational activities conform to enhanced food-safety protocols. The Rabbi said the existing Kosher certification program, BC Kosher, has been using client contracts for many years that require commitments by Kosher certified manufacturers that they comply with all applicable government food-safety regulations. "Under Kosher Check," he said, "Approval will be predicated on food manufacturers giving clear assurances they are operating to additional, elevated standards for food-safety - over and above those food regulations mandated by government authorities." Among the food-safety programs considered benchmarks for Kosher Check are those regarded 'best-practice' by quality assurance authorities and food professionals, world-wide. They include the HACCP program (Hazard Awareness Critical Control Points) as well as GFSI (Global Food Standard Initiative), FSSC 22000 (Foundation for Food Safety Certification) and BRC (British Retail Council), among others. "Certainly, Kosher Check is intended to be value-added for consumers," said Rabbi Feigelstock, "Since it will provide them extra assurance concerning food-safety," He said benefits will accrue to others, "Like product brand owners and grocery retailers, since both can expect to profit from incremental sales as Kosher Check achieves greater awareness among consumers." Kosher Check is powered by Icicle to manage all their Kosher products, ingredients, and processes. Using the same interfaces, they can opt-in to manage their HACCP-compliant food safety programs as well, saving time and effort when managing both types of certification. According to Steve Burton, developer of Icicle, “It is with great pleasure that Burton Software, makers of Icicle, entered into a strategic partnership which unites Icicle's technology with Kosher food safety under a single umbrella that's easy to manage. Similar strategic partnerships with Halal, gluten-free, and allergen-free, food manufacturers will be announced shortly.” (http://www.burtonsoftware.com/Partner/KosherCheck) About Burton Software and Cloud-based Icicle HACCP Solution: Steven Burton is the founder of Burton Software Inc., (www.BurtonSoftware.com) which offers the first affordable cloud-based solution to improve the safety of the world's food supply.

The IFT (Institute of Food Technologists) reported that kosher food purchases are made by approximately 80 percent who are not observing Jewish dietary laws. According to the publication, “kosher foods are becoming more popular. Kosher food sales jumped 64 percent between 2003 and 2012, to a record $12.5 billion.”

The IFT (Institute of Food Technologists) reported kosher food preparation rules for producing and certifying kosher products may result in closer scrutiny of food safety issues. The paper reported, “Independent organizations such as the Orthodox Union are paid by food companies to send trained personnel to factories to ensure that all of the restrictions of kosher laws are met. The extra monitoring typically means that kosher products are produced more slowly than other foods.”

New York Times reported, “Many consumers purchase kosher foods because they appreciate the strict food preparation and inspection guidelines and the clarity in food ingredients. For example, meat and dairy are never prepared or packaged together in kosher-certified foods. They generally also do not contain any ingredients derived from corn, soy, rice, peanuts, or legumes. These guidelines can be beneficial to consumers with food allergies or intolerances, or those adhering to a vegetarian or vegan diet.”

Many pets died after eating contaminated food produced by Menu Foods of Ontario, Canada, although an exact number has yet to be determined. Experts cannot say how many pets actually died after eating this products as many pet owners may attribute the death of their beloved pet to other causes, not knowing they ate this tainted food. "Pet owners concerned about the recall of major food products need to consider turning to natural pet products to ensure the safety of their animal and these owners also need to worry about medications being given to their pet, often by veterinarians," Barb Simpson of NHV Natural Pet Products declares.

Gerry Gerbasi is a highly respected food safety consultant with GJG Associates Food Safety, located in Vancouver, BC. He was the former Manager of Quality Assurance and Technical Service responsible for food safety at the Lucerne Foods Division of Safeway. Gerbasi acknowledged the need for a quality program that assists the implementation of HACCP plans and procedures and the Icicle HACCP cloud-based solution. Icicle is preferred for many food manufacturers as a food quality HACCP solution. Other solutions are more expensive and limited to the machines on which software was installed. The Icicle cloud-based structure allows food manufacturers to access data from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day.

According to the New York Times Health and Science section of the paper, a growing number of supermarket shoppers are going kosher. The paper reported that more people are eating kosher, “not for religious reasons, but because they are convinced the foods are safer and better for health. Kosher foods, which must meet a number of dietary and processing rules to comply with traditional Jewish law, are the fastest growing ethnic cuisine, reported the market research firm Mintel. Sales of kosher foods reached $12.5 billion in 2008, an increase of 64 percent since 2003.”

By the end of 2013 the electronic cigarette market is expected to grow to an amazing $1.7 billion in sales in the United States. Incredible as the industry was virtually non-existent just a few years ago. While it’s now expected millions have transitioned from dangerous tobacco products to e-cigarettes, the jury is still not out on whether governments around the world will begin cracking down on the “safer” alternative to smoking.

Kosher food restrictions were created for religious reasons, not to produce healthier or safer food. According to a New York Times article, “Although some of the kosher laws related to ingredients and preparation may have potential health advantages, there’s no evidence to show that kosher food products are healthier or safer than those from traditional food companies.”
