Kadosh Kosher Wagyu Brand Beef
November 22, 2021
It has come to our attention that a store in South Florida has been selling STAR-K certified and sealed Kadosh Kosher Wagyu Brand Beef in retail packages while also displaying the Kadosh name on other packages of meat that don't bear a STAR-K. Consumers are advised to be aware that meat items without STAR-K seals are not certified by STAR-K.
In order to protect Kosher consumers from confusion, STAR-K is discontinuing future certification of all Kadosh branded meats. For more information, please contact STAR-K at [email protected]
