    Thanks to a special approval granted by the global chain, KFC Israel announced that it would start marketing its chicken meals with a kosher soy-powder coating rather than the standard milk-power coating.

    The approval was granted after two years of negotiations and deliberations, since the milk-powder element has been an inseparable part of KFC’s world-famous coating for over half a century, and is what gives it its one-of-a-kind taste and coloring.

    The kosher powder that will replace the milk ingredient is a milk-flavored soy powder that was approved by Kentucky Fried Chicken’s labs in Dallas, Texas.

    Thanks to this development, the chain will be able to open kosher branches in other places around the world where large Jewish populations are concentrated.

    According to KFC Israel, the new taste is identical to the original, and the move to develop the new ingredient stemmed from many customers’ requests to avoid mixing meat and dairy.

    Even though they are going to replace the milchig ingredients with a soy-based product, I suspect they will still need to get kosher chickens with chassideshe hashgacah before they can beging selling to the frumme community in the U.S. It would be such a kiddush hashem to have KFC neer the shuls in KJ and WB so we can take the kids for a quick dinner after school.

    I don’t think Rav Avroham Schorr would approve. He came out against Subway when it opened on Avenue J.

    If the owner is not shomrei torah u’mitzvos, I would not eat there at all. You may eat where ever you feel the kashrus is up to par. I was once told by a chasidishe shoichet that when he worked at Empire they had high standards and anything that fell below those standards were immediately considered traif. But now that he works for a chasidishe schechita, tha standards are much higher and anything that falls bellow their standards, they find a hetter for!

    Donuts are so unhealthy and give me heartburn the minute I am done eating. Same goes for fried chicken. YUCK. I don’t care how good it tastes, who cares!
    I would lick my fingers if a healthy kosher restaurant opened with good fresh healthy foods, made without tons of oil and grease and fat. And the price should be reasonable. It should be tasty too! SO??? Subway is mostly deli and who wants to eat deli??? Chinese food is sickening, sushi is boring. Let’s go back to the simple food, nice old fashioned stuff. Freshly baked whole grain bread and butter. Bananas and sour cream. Fresh fruit salad bars with all kinds of fruits. Why can’t we have in Boro Park a kosher version of Whole Foods? Who needs KFC?
    We are full of diseases and potential diseases R”L ; we need to save our children while we still can. They can grow up only eating healthy food, so that they crave good things that are good for them, not cholent kishke and kugel!
    Healthy food should be our priority, and absolute kashrus with no questions!
