The Beth Din’s Dayan Yehuda Osher Steiner did not question the kashrut of the product but noted that labelling pork-style foods as kosher “makes people upset”.
When the Beth Din were alerted to the use of their symbol in breach of their agreement, they contacted Redwood, which said it would remove the symbol. The image of the packaging on Redwood’s website has been changed.
Rabbi Yehuda Brodie of the Beth Din said: “We are satisfied with this undertaking. It is not a kashrut matter but one of sensitivity to consumers.”
A spokesperson for Redwood said: “I can confirm that with immediate effect the kosher approval symbol will be removed from the pork-style sausage rolls, and hope that no offence has been caused.”
