"Our butter and cultured products have been certified by the Orthodox Union for several years, and the OU has been diligent in their efforts to work with us to develop an OU-certified cheddar. We called representatives from synagogues in several states and asked what the predominant and most appropriate certification would be for our products in their area. Our initial impression of the Orthodox Union's national recognition was corroborated."
For more than a dozen years, the Glad Products Company has enjoyed a very productive working relationship with the Orthodox Union Kosher Division. Of course, we highly value OU certification because it is important to our Kosher-observant consumers.
Increasingly however, the OU symbol is recognized as a standard for cleanliness and safety by non-observant consumers as well. It's important to Glad, therefore, to be certain that our new products also
receive OU certification.

Dr. Peter Praeger of Dr. Praeger’s, the famous fish company, is a real person and
a real doctor, a cardiologist. In a strange but true story, that’s how he became
involved with the firm.

The story of Gold’s begins in 1932 when my grandparents started grinding horseradish in the kitchen of their apartment in Brooklyn. Our OU affiliation came shortly afterwards when we expanded to a small factory. Today, Gold’s is manufactured with the same recipe that was used at the start: horseradish, vinegar and salt.
