China’s response to tainted food: bring in the rabbis!
Apparently China is now trying to tap the lucrative kosher market. A story on Bloomberg.com (thanks, Dad, for the tip) leads off like this:
Chinese exporters, facing a U.S. backlash over tainted food products, are turning to an unlikely group of inspectors to help clean up their act: Jewish rabbis.
While the whole story is rather humorous, I can only ask this question after reading the lead: What other kind of rabbis are there?

“Since 2001, the Orthodox Union has required makers of products it certifies as kosher to place a code on their packages identifying the plant where it was made so the product can be traced in a recall.”
How sad that the recalls are so assumed that a measure like this is necessary….
