Kosher Mainstreaming Seminar is Coming Soon
2025-05-15
Two leading experts in the kosher market, Milt Weinstock and Begin Lubinsky, will discuss the new opportunities for kosher certification and mainstream products in the food industry. They will speak on "Mainstreaming Kosher" on Thursday, September 15th, at 2:00 PM. This free seminar will address the topic of bringing ethnic/specialty foods to the masses and growing beyond niche markets.
The largest kosher food, wine, and spirits trade show, scheduled for November 8-9 at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, New Jersey, will host Kosherfest, now in its 23rd year. Kosher has expanded far beyond its traditional roots, with numerous kosher products flooding the broader market. From bagel to hummus, many original kosher products are entering the mainstream at a rate far greater than one might imagine.
Milt Weinstock is a consumer marketing expert with 35 years of experience at Grey Worldwide, where he served as Executive Vice President - Global Account Director, working on a broad range of CPG clients, including Danone, ConAgra, Kraft/General Foods, P&G, M&M/Mars, Novartis (Gerber, Maalox, Lamisil, Benefiber, CIBA Vision), and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Currently, Milt is President of the Kosher Media Network, a multi-platform network that combines the latest digital, social, and online tools to provide clients with a fully integrated media and marketing communications platform. Mr. Lubinsky is Chairman and CEO of LUBICOM Marketing Consulting, a full-service marketing and business development firm. Mr. Lubinsky is a recognized authority on the kosher food market.
Kosher certification has become a valuable tool for food exporters to enter the European, American, and Southeast Asian markets and gain market share. There are 9,200 companies producing kosher foods, and today, there are 65,000 different kosher food products on the US market. Approximately 45% of products in US supermarkets carry kosher certification. Many people in the West prioritize products with kosher certification when choosing food. Consequently, kosher-certified products have naturally become a top choice for many foreign companies sourcing from China.
