That's Isn't Kosher, Dude! Sara Lee Exits Kosher Biz, Closes Plant

Sara Lee, a food company, has stopped making kosher foods and will close a plant related to that business and all 185 jobs will be resulting in a layoff. This plant made mainly hot dogs and other kinds of meats in the kosher style. These layoffs will happen before the end of January 2009 timeframe.

I guess with all the Wall St. carnage in New York City, the finance sector layoffs and all, the demand for kosher hot dogs from the local hot dogs stands has plummetted and caused Sara Lee to re-evaluate this business. Their evaluation resulted in an exit, possibly because they do not see the Wall St. pigmen coming back quickly and being consumers of their tasty hot dogs.

The plant closure is in Chicago, Illinois.
