KRAFT ROLLS OUT ANTI-SEMITISM CAMPAIGN
A new campaign to combat anti-Semitism is being rolled out.

These restaurants are listed on an app, but they don't have a storefront. They often run out of the kitchens of existing restaurants, warehouses, and sometimes even parking lots. Under new regulations, they are required to have menu items that are at least 60 percent different from their parent restaurant menu. They also need to maintain a rating of at least 4.3 stars.
