Israeli regulators have been focusing on one of the country’s most protected delicacies – the boureka.
The pastry – often stuffed with cheese, potato, spinach or mushroom – must now comply with strict shape and filling directions stipulated by the Israeli Rabbinate's kashrut regulators.
The so-called “bourekas revolution” was implemented on Tuesday.
From August 7, the shape of a boureka will indicate whether the bites are dairy or parev – failure to comply will result in the baker losing their kashrut certificate.
