and the United Kingdom
Opportunities for U.S. Exporters
Kosher foods represent a niche market that can be associated with any cuisine, including vegetarian food selections. Although much of the demand for kosher foods comes from the Jewish world, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) research suggests that the market for kosher food products extends well beyond that group. For example, kosher foods find favor with vegetarians--who may have difficulty finding guaranteed meat-free foods, with consumers interested in upscale foods, and potentially with Muslims--who follow similar but not identical food preparation laws.
