MSP Kosher currently provides kosher supervision for the Kosher Hot Dog Stand at Target Field. According to an article in the American Jewish World, a class action lawsuit has been filed against Hebrew National–the manufacturer of the kosher hot dogs served at Target Field.
AER has provided the following response:
“It has come to the attention of AER Services, Inc. that certain allegations have been made against the Company by Mordecai Specktor of the American Jewish World. The Company is currently reviewing its legal options and, without delay, intends to vigorously defend its reputation and good name against the baseless and meritless claims to the maximum extent of the law. It must be noted that in order to ensure and protect the kosher process, in the past, certain individuals have been terminated from their employment as a result of their disregard and violation of the rabbinical supervision’s rules and procedures as well as directives enacted by the Company. AER has strong reason to believe that, certain embittered former employees with their own personal agenda of retaliation are behind these false and unfounded allegations. AER stands committed to defending itself against all false allegations and remains confident and prepared to initiate and/or respond in a court of law to protect the Company’s name.”
Rabbi Aryeh Ralbag and Triangle K Kosher Supervision (Hebrew National’s Kosher Supervision agency) provided the following response:
“It has come to my attention that a false and slanderous email about the Kashrus of Hebrew National, under our strict Rabbinical Supervision of Triangle K, has been sent out. Let me emphatically state that we thoroughly investigate and seriously look into, any and all Kashrus complaints which come to our attention. Over the years, we have enacted various precautions, regulations, and enhancements, to insure (sic) the Kashrus of the Hebrew National brand. This includes unexpected oral tests and exams of the Halachic material required to be mastered , and the constant scrutiny of the level of piety and fear-of-heaven of our laughterers and lung inspectors. Anyone found not to be up-to-par with our standards, has been terminated . All these are documented facts. Clearly these lies are coming from persons found to be below-par, and consequently were duly removed. These disgruntled and frustrated workers are now attempting to make themselves righteous, by making bogus Kashrus claims. We strongly stand behind our Triangle K Kashrus symbol, on the Hebrew National brand, to be 100% strictly Kosher.”
