SECAUCUS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
More than 325 companies from around the world will converge at the Meadowlands Exposition Center to present what’s new in the world of kosher at Kosherfest. Hundreds of new kosher certified foods, beverages, wines and spirits, as well as Jewish lifestyle products will fill the exhibit hall for the annual and much anticipated two-day trade show. The show opens at 9:00am Tuesday, November 13, with a keynote address; the exhibit hall will open at 10am.
Thousands of retail and foodservice trade buyers from supermarket, chain store and specialty food markets to caterers, chefs, and restaurateurs, will converge to seek out the newest trends in kosher for 2012-2013.

“Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the Hurricane Sandy. To that end we are donating $5,000 to organizations supporting victims of the disaster. Kosherfest exhibitors plan to donate food from the show to City Harvest and the Met Council, continuing a long standing tradition by our exhibitors,” said Bill Springer, Group VP, Diversified Business Communications, producer of Kosherfest.
