United Airlines expands its Kosher culinary choices for flights between the U.S. and Tel Aviv

This month, United is taking Kosher cuisine to new heights by introducing a variety of new options for customers traveling between the U.S. and Tel Aviv, from the airline’s Newark / New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. / Dulles based hubs. These exciting menu additions include popular choices from several leading Kosher food and beverage brands and reflects United’s commitment to elevate the travel experience for our customers.  Partnering with New Jersey-based fresh food provider Fresko, meals on the Newark to Tel Aviv flight will feature an entirely new menu. Options will include dishes such as fresh bagels, a cheese omelet, blintzes, chicken marsala, a kale quinoa burger and traditional bakery items like rugelach and black and white cookies.  As part of the introduction of these new dining options, United is also testing a menu offering for its youngest customers – a Kosher child’s meal in all cabins between Tel Aviv, Newark and San Francisco. If the testing is successful, the airline will roll out the meal selection on additional Tel Aviv routes.For those customers traveling in Polaris and United Premium Plus, additional dining enhancements can be found in the all Kosher snack choices for mid-flight enjoyment. The new offerings include Deep River Potato Chips, Cheez-It® crackers, Drizzilicious Cinnamon Swirl crisps, Madi K’s Almonds and M&M’S®.  New beverage options will include Kosher wine provided by Royal Wine, another New Jersey-based company, which includes Herzog Lineage Cabernet Sauvignon and Herzog Lineage Sauvignon Blanc throughout the Polaris cabin. Additionally, building on the airline’s partnership with Illy coffee, United is upgrading its Kosher coffee to provide both regular and decaf Illy coffee within all cabins over the next several months.  Part of the Kosher expansion includes the airport experience where United is testing the addition of a hot Kosher à la carte meal option in the Newark Polaris Lounge to complement the already featured Kosher wines. Additionally, at both the Polaris lounge and United Clubs in Newark and LaGuardia Airports the offerings will include Kosher packaged snacks upon request.  For images please visit: https://app.box.com/s/pp4w09s7mw8699n9zwj46thsdd6qllmp

Any information about the Kashrus supervision on these?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

And Tartikov, one of the best in NY. Look at the pictures in the KSML thread.

They are the same ones who make the packaged food sold in the airport.

Definitely an improvement, though the headline (of this thread and possibly the news release, I didn't check) is a little misleading. It would be really nice if one could order out of a selection of Kosher options, like ELAL offers.

How are they able to provide fresh KSML when Borenstein can't (presumably due to LSG chokehold)?

Is that an issue ex-EWR or only JFK?
