OU on Display at Food Ingredients China 2003

The Orthodox Union (OU) has had a presence in China since 1995, and now certifies almost 100 firms there. Rabbi Aharon Steinberg, the OU’s Rabbinic Field Representative in Asia, has been visiting many of these plants on behalf of the organization. Recently, the OU set up a “virtual office” in Beijing, staffed by the bilingual Zhu “Joe” Yanan.

In April, the OU participated in the Food Ingredients China 2003 exhibition in Guangzhou, the largest trade show for food ingredients and additives held in Asia. This year, there were 750 exhibitors and 27,000 visitors. “The many contacts made during the show are certain to bear fruit and result in a considerably larger presence for the OU in China in the months ahead,” Rabbi Steinberg said.
