(JERUSALEM POST) — An application for a class-action lawsuit against Burger King was filed last Thursday in the Tel Aviv District Court after a religious man ate a cheeseburger at a branch that was presented as kosher and later discovered that the cheese was from cow’s milk.
In recent months, Burger King has launched a campaign for kosher substitutes, such as burgers with “bacon” that is not made from pork but from turkey, as well as a “cheeseburger” that includes a vegan cheddar “cheese”. That is: a religious person can eat a “cheeseburger” with “bacon” without violating the kosher laws of the Jewish religion.
At the beginning of the month, the plaintiff arrived at the chain’s branch in the Azrieli Hod Hasharon mall, outside of which is a Burger King sign that reads “kosher,” and the plaintiff assumed that the branch was kosher.
