The deli at the centre of Liverpool's kashrut crisis has turned down options which would have allowed it to regain rabbinical certification, according to the local kashrut authority.
In a notice made public this afternoon, Liverpool Kashrut Commission reported that “following detailed guidance in conjunction with the Chief Rabbi and Dayan Gelley, head of London Beth Din, the LKC put forward several options to the owners of Rosemans Delicatessen to enable them to obtain a kashrut licence.
“They have decided not to adopt any of those options and to run Rosemans as an unlicensed business. We are therefore required to advise the community that Rosemans is no longer under the supervision of LKC.”
As reported by the JC last month, the KLC had instituted emergency measures to provide kosher food for communal facilities after Rosemans, the city’s only kosher meat supplier, was found to have received regular orders of non-kosher meat for a number of years.
