Spread the word about my favorite spread.
It’s back. After an absence of more than six months, a batch of kosher Vegemite should hit supermarket shelves in the new year, Kosher Australia (KA) announced this week.The general manager of Melbourne’s kashrut authority, Yankel Wajsbort, reported that it had reached an agreement with Vegemite manufacturer Kraft, allowing immediate production of a kosher batch of 175-gram jars of the iconic spread. The batch should be available in late January.“We’ve always found Kraft to be extremely cognisant of the needs of the kosher community,” Wajsbort told the AJN.“It [reinstating kosher Vegemite] took significant changes in Kraft’s production processes and it took a long time to get those changes in place.”Wajsbort said the first kosher batch would bear a “K” symbol and would have a use-by date of December 13, 2005.
Excellent. I hope this means I can stop buying Marmite and have my parents send me the real deal from Australia.
