New York mashgiach Robert Frank emails:
DEAR MR FORD, ENCLOSED IS A PEST CONTROL REPORT AND A INVOICE SHOWING NON KOSHER CANDY FOR MONTEFIORE HOSPITAL AT 1825 EASTCHESTER RD BRONX, NY. 10461.
THE INFESTATION REPORT SHOWS 100 ROACHES, WHICH OF COURSE ARE NOT KOSHER.
I HAVE SEEN ROACHES IN THE SOUP KETTLES AND ALL AROUND THE KITCHEN AND AT VARIOUS TIMES.
I HAVE CALLED THE NYC HEALTH DEPT TO REPORT THE INFESTATION.
IF A ROACH GETS INTO KOSHER FOOD IT BECOMES NOT KOSHER, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME .
IF I WERE A HOSPITAL PATIENT OR CAFETERIA PATRON AND I KNEW THAT A KITCHEN WHERE I WAS GETTING FOOD FROM HAD SO MANY ROACHES, I WOULD NOT EAT THERE.
ONE OF THE KITCHEN WORKERS TOLD ME THIS MORNING THAT THEIR IS STILL A BIG ROACH PROBLEM .
MOST OF MY CO WORKERS ARE TELLING ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE NOT TOLD ALL THE INSIDE KITCHEN SECRETS ABOUT THE KOSHER PROBLEMS AT MONTEFIORE HOSPITAL.
MY CO WORKERS ARE CALLING ME A TRAITOR, BUT I KEEP TELLING THEM THAT I DO NOT WANT TO DECEIVE ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT MONTEFIORE HOSPITAL IS 100% KOSHER.
THEIR ALL AFRAID THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL SHUT THE KITCHEN DOWN , AND THEY WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS, I KEEP TELLING THEM THAT ALL I WANT IS TO REPAIR THE KOSHER KITCHEN PROBLEMS.
ALL THEY ARE CONCERNED WITH IS THEIR ONE JOBS.
IT IS A VERY SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS THAT PEOPLE WILL SELL THEIR INTEGRITY FOR A PAY CHECK.
