I have visited the Fresko plant on several occasions formally & I found the Kashrut, quality & freshness impeccable. For those that are machmirin – well, as you well know that can be a lonely place – hatzlacha! For a stam halachic yid it is “ganz fein”!

Terminal B Newark
March 6, 2016 7:41 am

No kosher for ElAl travelers !?

Great!
March 6, 2016 12:42 am

Greatest thing since sliced bread!:)

What About Newark Terminal B & C
March 4, 2016 9:06 am

Travelers to Israel leave from Terminal B (ElAl) or C(United).
Why would they put the kosher food in Terminal A?

Awesome! Thanks to Fresko ...
March 3, 2016 9:48 pm

To all who complain about every issue available… Say thank u to the company for putting in the food into airport terminals… When I had a flight cancelation (was in airport for a total of 16hours)… I would pay every dollar to have a kosher meal… And yes… I paid for one apple 1.79
Its not about the kosher companies that charge a lot.. It’s about the airport

apples
March 3, 2016 11:46 am

For all the kvetchers: Apples are kosher even on Pesach!

VERY pricey!
March 3, 2016 11:04 am

I think this is for the very rich and very starving only.
My husband recently needed to buy a pareve sandwich and it was around $14!!!!!

Tuna?
March 3, 2016 11:02 am

Does anyone know if tuna is bishul Yisroel?

27 are you a rav that you are paskening?
March 3, 2016 11:01 am

27 are you a rav that you are paskening?

Each person will do as s/he chooses. People who use only Lubavitch hashgocho still have pareve and dairy choices.

Other Locations
March 2, 2016 4:09 pm

Will there more openings in other locations (Terminals)? In Laguardia I travel mainly in Terminal D. I wouldn’t mind getting food to eat before my flight in Terminal D

Great !!
March 2, 2016 10:36 am

Anything gluten free???

Great news
March 2, 2016 7:39 am

Fabulous news wish these could be put into every Duane trade in the city.

delicious
March 2, 2016 5:50 am

It was amazing to get great kosher food at the airport. It’s fresh and delicious

more pple will eat kosher!!
March 2, 2016 1:14 am

Think of all the Jews who might buy this kosher food, just b/c it’s packaged nicely and looks “interesting,” and thereby get kosher food into them!! YEAH!!! This is all such great news! I pray the food stays fresh and that this venture is a great success.

Thumbs UP
March 1, 2016 9:13 pm

Kudos!!! Glad its finally here!!

Fresko is exactly what it is!
March 1, 2016 5:36 pm

Fresh delicious hearty sandwiches have been available for a few years now. Thank you to the one who works hard to make sure it’s available!

Kosher meals on flights
March 1, 2016 5:11 pm

as we’re already discussing kosher meals at airports which is a great plus for all of us who have been waiting for this to happen,
how good are the hechsherim on flights out of all New York Airports?

Lubavitcher shechita is a myth
March 1, 2016 4:45 pm

There is no chabad source for lubavitcher shechita. Chassidim can eat from any shochet who is a yerei shamayim.

Kosher food in the Airport
March 1, 2016 2:12 pm

Great news!! Congratulations!

KOSHER FOOD IN THE AIRPORT
March 1, 2016 12:48 pm

I THINK THIS IS THE BEST NEWS. THAT WE HAVE KOSHER FOOD IN THE AIRPORT KOSHER TRAVELERS DESPERATLY NEED THIS THANK YOU FRESKO FOR KEEPING US FROM GOING HUNGRY

Stop Bashing - this is great news
March 1, 2016 12:03 pm

For 99.999% who want something with a hashgacha this is great news. Stop bashing it because its not for you. Your the yotze min haclal.

Have tried the food
March 1, 2016 11:00 am

It’s fresh, very tasty and much healthier than I imagined it would be.

Price?
March 1, 2016 10:24 am

Anyone know what these sandwiches cost in the airport?

Chabad long island city
February 29, 2016 10:01 am

Thanks to Rabbi Zevi Wineberg of long island city for his strong relationship with Fresko its down the block from their chabad house

Id rather eat Star K than your
February 28, 2016 9:11 pm

baloney Sinat Chinam. instead of saying wow there is now kosher !!!! you come with all your Bull
I guess
some are just never happy

YAY
February 28, 2016 8:35 pm

so totally agree with knocking the naysayers to mini mice.

so agree with 15 & 16 and above those – some of you really really need to come out from mommys basement and smell the fresh air.

The prices are the same as for non-kosher
February 28, 2016 8:13 pm

All airport food is expensive, but the kosher items are not more expensive than the equivalent treife ones.

old news
February 28, 2016 7:20 pm

we’ve seen these for a while. ask your rav if star k is kosher. if the rav says for you its ok, and the rav is reliable. bh.

Nothing to complain about
February 28, 2016 5:38 pm

Hi, there People-Who-Don’t-Want-to-Trust-This-Food!
My message to you is:
Pretend you never read this article and pack your own food like you always did.

Kashrut
February 28, 2016 5:09 pm

This is absolutely wonderful news for the Global Jewish Community, it allows people an option to be able to eat a hearty kosher meal in the airport or on the plane. Readers should be happy about kosher going mainstream, and not impose their own restrictions (some of which have no basis at all) to the rest of the population. Star-K being not reliable? seriously? and lets look at the greater good that this brings, not concerning about Pas Yisroel or not. We Lubavitchers need to see what this does for the Jews overall, and find out the answers to your… Read more »

Go Zevy
February 28, 2016 4:45 pm

Hats off to Rabbi Zevy Wineberg of Chabad LIC!

terminal b
February 28, 2016 3:47 pm

what about el al travelers from terminal b?

Col customer service
February 28, 2016 3:36 pm

I think col needs to open a customer service line. Every time they post a news story people comment with questions directed at the company or org that the story is about. Attn people: col is a news website they are not the customer service nor the the hashgocho for this particular business. If you keep kosher than you do your research to see if you like star k or not and google the business for business questions

TERMINAL 1 ?!?
February 28, 2016 1:58 pm

Terminal 1 ?!?!?

amazing
February 28, 2016 1:49 pm

about time something like this happened. this will be a real help to all kosher keeping travelers!

Love the optimism.
February 28, 2016 1:34 pm

If you want to be machmir good for you. Don’t impose your so called frumkeit on someone else.

worthless & probably over priced
February 28, 2016 12:55 pm

stark is not reliable &you know its going to be a rip off price

Maachil Treifa-Neveila
February 28, 2016 12:41 pm

Star K never apologized for being mmachil Treifa-Neveilo to yidden on a cruise !!!

How does this help us?
February 28, 2016 12:21 pm

Since when do Lubavitcher’s eat Star K meat?

Care with Star K and Pas Yisroel
February 28, 2016 12:14 pm

Care needs to be taken with Star-K Pas Yisroel. They often rely on the light bulb heter for Pas Yisroel.

You should ask your Rov as to whether Star-K Pas Yisroel is acceptable.

What shechitah?
February 28, 2016 12:02 pm

What is the hechsher and shechitah for The chicken and shawarma wraps etc?

Question
February 28, 2016 11:22 am

Will they have fresh items Isru Chag Pesach (Sunday) for travelers who are going back to Israel or Europe?
