Kosher Food
Expo-sed
New York (JTA) — They
came, they saw, they col-
lected coupons and they
noshed.
Thousands of traditional
Jews pushed their way
through five long and
crowded aisles of booths to
sample a smorgasbord of
certified-kosher fare Saturday
night at the opening of the
first Kosher Foods and
Jewish Life Expo, held at the
Javits Convention Center in
New York.
The purpose of the first-of-
its-kind show was to provide
a public forum for the grow-
ing selection of kosher pr-
oducts and to be a "celebra-
tion of Jewish life with food
as its central focus," accord-
ing to expo impresario Irving
Silverman of Roslyn, N.Y.
Silverman said 16,000
kosher products are now
available, up from 1,000 only
ten years ago. The dozens of
kosher products handy to
taste at the expo ranged from
natural whole grains to
sweets and frozen Italian dis-
hes to rather synthetic pizza-
flavored crunchies.
The 194 booths also fea-
tured kosher-living
products—such as custom-
designed kitchens and a new
line of plastic containers
labeled meat, milk or
parve—as well as information
about well known and
obscure Jewish organizations
and items for sale such as
religious articles from Israel.
About six million Ameri-
cans buy kosher products. Of
them, about 1.5 million are
Jewish, with the remainder
being vegetarian, Moslem or
Seventh Day Adventist, Sil-
verman said. Yet, he said, he
has noticed an absence of
kosher foods in the grocery
stores, even in this city of 1.7
million Jews.
To remedy this situation,
he introduced and hoped to
distribute one million of what
he called "a bold new concept
in food marketing"—forms on
which consumers could re-
quest kosher products at
their local grocery store.
