Liverpool butcher reopens after being caught selling non-kosher meat

The main outlet for kosher food in Liverpool, which closed after it was caught selling non-kosher meat and poultry, has reopened under new ownership.

Roseman’s Delicatessen received a license from the Liverpool Kashrut Commission three months after it was revoked following the discovery of “serious breaches of kashrut,” the JC reported.

Days later the owner of the deli, Robert Kaye, 43, was found dead in Manchester.

The deli was found to have received regular orders of non-kosher meat for a number of years, the JC reported.

Following the scandal, a unique meeting was held between the United Synagogue and leading figures from Kashrut agencies, including the Federation, Kedassia, Kosher London Beth Din (KLBD), London Board for Shechita and the Sephardi Kashrut Authority (SKA).
