Candy Importer Fined 200,000 Euro for Kashrus Fraud
“Under a special settlement agreement, Lehman Schlissel will pay 200,000 euros toward a kashrus inspection fund for products imported to Israel. The settlement follows a class-action suit against the company for kashrus fraud. In the claim, filed at the Tel Aviv District Court, the plaintiff charged that the candy importer printed on its wrapper — labeled under the Tic Tac brand, which the company marketed from the start of 2006 until the case was filed — that the product is certified kosher by the Rabbinate of Brazil and with the approval of the Rabbinate of Israel. However, the evidence proved that the product’s kashrus supervision expired at the end of 2005.”more@KashrutNews.com
