After years of agitation a kosher package butter has been placed on the market. The new product marks the culmination of a campaign conducted by two leading orthodox rabbis, Rabbi Israel Rosenberg of Brooklyn and Rabbi M. S. Margolies, dean of American orthodox rabbis.
Marketed as the Hanford Kosher Package Sweet Butter, the new butter was introduced to the trade at a banquet at the Broadway Central Hotel. After first convincing Borden’s, sponsors of the butter, of the need for a kosher package butter all year round, the rabbis visited the plant in which it was to be made and inspected every part of it.
The butter is now sold under the signature of the two rabbis who guarantee the observance of all the rules of kashruth.
