Nothing says attention to detail in food preparation like Big Food/Agra.

I think would have been more fitting.

Oh boy there will be blood in the streets!!

More like several thousand Jewish lawyers acting in unison.


/Dude: don't fark with kosher.

Oh, no! What will people do if they find out they weren't properly practicing their silly beliefs in the supernatural?

Can I point out they're still the best hot dogs you'll get out of the usual stock of hot dogs at a supermarket?

/near fat free ones are only 40 calories, too

The suit also alleges that the employees were paid in violation of American tax laws.

It's against tax laws to pay employees?

Jew gotta be kidding me.

Look out Con/Agra. You will have to answer to a higher authority. Corporate America in general, and Big Agriculture in specific, has run roughshod over mainstream USA citizens. But watch out when you wrong Jewish sensibilities. Just ask OJ Simpson about his wrongful death civil suit for killing Ron Goldman after getting off the hook for the criminal trial.

They need to move the plant to Kansas. Foreign laws like Kosher laws can't be enforced there. Link

Slaughterhouse? Jobs "Real Americans Refuse To Do™?" It's just like Al Capone, they ignore the illegal immigrants, and just call it a "tax" case.

Hebrew National is mainly marketed to suburban "sorta-keep kosher" Jews to assuage religious guilt. Really observant Jews wouldn't be caught dead eating Conagra foods. It's been common knowledge for decades that they were cutting corners. Kosher groceries in places like Chicago or New York simply don't stock it.

Truth.

Jewish people problems.

ConAgra is going to have a sheeny curse put upon them. Sell your stocks now!

Laws of kashrut come from many places, but the basics are all about the health of the animal. Even if you cut exactly THERE, and cover the blood like SO, and salt it for THESE hours, and remove THOSE parts...if the animal had any one of a variety of health problems, it's as kosher as bacon-wrapped scallops.

Spots on the lungs, for example. Every animal that is slaughtered must be examined (usually, they poke a few centimeters/inches of the wind/food pipes out to check for obvious lesions) for these defects. For some people, this means the lungs must be thoroughly checked for spots or other bumps - this is the origin of the glatt kosher designation. Glatt is Yiddish (and probably German) for 'smooth'. Yes, probably 90-99% of kosher meat comes from animals without any problems (not that they check every organ individually), but for people adhering to those strictures, it's also a health issue.

So while on the surface, it may look like "silly religious people and their silly superstitions", there are bigger issues at play when it involves kashrut.

What was it genetically modified?

They may not be kosher, but they sure are delicious.

DrippinBalls: I'm not eating any jew-dogs. That's what ovens are for. Nathan's or Organic.

Bests makes the best hot dog.

Give me these. Sahlen's hot dogs with Weber's horseradish mustard.

FIFY. Seriously, how did you miss such an obvious Jewish stereotype?

I wasn't aware they were part of con agra

damn

not like I was buying them anyway, or had a reason to

Damn, I just bought a pack of Hebrew National. Not that I care about Kosher beyond it usually meaning slightly higher quality, but I doubt I will be buying another pack. Back to the old Chicago standard:

Pff, like we're supposed to trust your word about these things, Dr. Drei- oh.

thornhill: Alternate headline: Hebrew National no longer answering to a higher authority

That is true unless you consider businesses the higher authority - given the shift towards business over workers in the last few decades.

Have you tried a 'Coleman Natural Beef Hot Dog'?

/ IMHO, better than Hebrew National, and less burpy.

// Their Coleman Natural Bacon (No Nitrites, No MSG) is bacon nirvana.

Which is totally sensible, because look at all those people who don't follow kosher diets falling ill and dying due to things like spots on the lungs.

Well, in Dr. Dreidel's defense, kashrut food laws DID come about when there WERE transmissible diseases one could catch from lung meats (the two biggies of concern that could be detected by external observation would be bovine TB (where there would be lumps and possibly cheesy nodules on the lungs) and anthrax (where there would be black spots of coagulated blood)--both of which would be of public health concern to folks who ate the meat.

Anthrax and bovine TB aren't huge concerns nowadays in the US in slaughter--but you DO still get the occasional case of bovine anthrax, and it definitely WOULD have been a concern in the days before routine vaccination against bovine anthrax and bovine TB.

Well, at least Krispy Kreme is Kosher.

Sure, its a free country, but Sylvias and Zenners are both superior supermarket dogs, IMO.

INGREDIENTS: Beef, water, contains 2% or less of flavorings, garlic powder, hydrolyzed soy protein, paprika, potassium and sodium lactate, salt, sodium diacetate, sodium erythorbate, sodium nitrate,spice. Contains: soy.

I don't understand how hydrolized soy protein can be kosher. I know certain groups say it isn't kosher.

These are really tasty.

Nope. Sweigle's outclass those inferior Buffalo dogs. My mom has always loved whites, I'm partial to the reds.

The history of Kosher laws have little to do with religion.

No, there aren't. It's 2012. It's silly religious people with retarded superstitions.

The fact that some idiot doesn't see lesions on a lamb's tongue doesn't imply the meat is without problems.

Hope they don't go out of business, or anything. With my MSG problems, that's the only brand of hotdog I can eat :(

TheHopeDiamond: Hope they don't go out of business, or anything. With my MSG problems, that's the only brand of hotdog I can eat :(

You don't really have MSG problems, it's in there. Hydrolized Soy Protein.

Now that you have been informed you have to decide if your MSG sensitivity is real or are you going to be reduced to eating nothing but fresh veggies.

Hidden MSG

From what I understand the safety of the meat or utility of eating kosher have nothing to do with the lawsuit. The legal issue is advertising the meat as kosher when it clearly isn't and punishing those that didn't want to help ConAgra do so.

As part of the lawsuit, can we get an even eight franks per bag from now on? I'm tired of always having a leftover bun.

Be nice to that animal before I eat it. That's all I ask.
