MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) -- The owner of one of the largest catering
companies on New York's Long Island has been accused of seriously
violating Jewish law by having workers prepare kosher and
non-kosher meals in the same kitchen.
The allegations come from the former chef and general manager of
Morrell Caterers. They claim that starting in September 2010 they
were instructed to prepare non-kosher meals in one of three
kitchens operated by the company.
Owner Scott Morrell vehemently denied the allegations at a press
conference Wednesday. Morrell claims the attorney for the chef and
the general manager is trying to get him to drop an unrelated
lawsuit.
Among observant Jews, kosher law defines how foods must be
prepared and what foods are unfit for consumption, such as shrimp
and pork.
