Rethinking this -

Folks who want kosher, hallal, vegitarian or vegan products are
motivated to read the labels to confirm the products are what they want.
I would never expect a product to be kosher without being marked as
such. Even beer gets marked as kosher.

Who ever cares about such markings if you're not interested in keeping
kosher, hallal, vegitarian or kosher? There's no incentive to mention
any of those on a label if your target market isn't targeting those
products. It doesn't bother me at all if a product is kosher, hallal,
vegitarian or vegan.

Vegitarians look at the labels. Meat eaters don't care if their potato
chips are cooked with animal products. Also simple as it gets but with
the opposite conclusion.

Even though I don't keep kosher I do look for the kosher mark when I buy
hot dogs. Long ago I benchmarked hot dog brands for quality. All of
the kosher brands were near the top in my rankings. None of the
non-kosher brands beat any of the kosher brands in my rankings. Ever
since then I've bought kosher dogs and not worried about which kosher
brand. It's a simple method for chosxing better quality dogs that works
for me.
