Excitement mounts as the international kosher community prepares for the 19th edition of Kosherfest on November 11-12. The New Product Competition took place last week and the winner is Teriyaki. We have the exclusive list of all of the winners, an impressive group of new products. Congratulations!... We have several stories on preparations for Kosherfest, including my Sixth Sense column that discusses how new products drive profits in the kosher food market. Idele Ross has a story of a 10-month old Israeli company that is making a move on the American market. She also has some updated information on the raging Shmittah controversy...Osem/Nestle makes its move to become the leading kosher infant formula company replacing the scandal-ridden Remedia...SuperValu opens its 10th Level 1 kosher store, this time in Cincinnati...Our readers had a few comments on my piece on blogs and Shmittah and a few corrections as well... Here and There covers a new restaurant in New York by an old popular restaurant and there may be kosher in Liverpool after all.
