Robert Van Naarden comment (Clairification)
In an article in our May 7 issue, we published a comment by the CEO of Empire Kosher, Robert Van Naarden, in which he expressed his belief that his product was better than any other. We did not understand his words to be intended to imply any comment on the quality of any competitor’s product. If any reader understood the passage as casting aspersions on another product, we regret the misunderstanding.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and the protests on college campuses.
Readers like you make it all possible. Support our work by becoming a Forward Member and connect with our journalism and your community.
