Florida Checks
\ / 7 111atzah-Makers

■

Miami — The Florida attorney
general has subpoenaed two
matzah manufacturers and sev-
en distributors in an effort to
find out why Passover matzah
has such a broad price differen-
tial in the United States and in
Florida.
\— Five pounds of Manischewitz
matzah cost as low as $3.99 in
Century City, Calif. and as
much as $11.99 in Boca Raton,
Fla.
In 1991, Manischewitz plead-
ed guilty to federal price-fixing
charges and paid a $1 million
penalty and donated food to
charity worth $1.8 million.
A spokesman for a regional
upermarket
chain in the South-
/–
east blamed the price differen-
tial on marketing methods. Her
zhain, she said sold the same
matzah for $3 less in Atlanta
than it did in some parts of Flori-
da. A grocery chain in the
Northeast said it used matzah
as a loss-leader to draw in cus-
tomers.
