Babies throughout the United States cooed contentedly and threw their pacifiers in tribute to the outstanding individuals of the Gerber facilities of Fort Smith, Arkansas and Fremont, Michigan, whose dedicated efforts have been recognized at the Babies Choice Kosherization Awards. Through the hard work of these people, who facilitated the kosherization of the Gerber plants, millions of babies can now sink their gums into the company’s quality line of fruits and vegetables. The mention of each group’s accomplishments was met with outbursts of pureed emotion, and the apple juice spilled freely at the post-awards nap.
FLORHAM PARK, NJ – Gerber Products, a part of Nestlé Nutrition, is introducing a line of purees that are certified kosher by the Orthodox Union (OU), a highly recognized and valued symbol of kosher certification.
The Dietrich family started in the milk business in 1926 as Dietrich’s Dairy, a retail fluid milk products company. From that starting point, Dietrich’s Milk Products (DMP) was formed in 1952 to make milk powders. In 1969, Dietrich’s Dairy operations were discontinued and the family continued to own and operate DMP through 1998, at which point it was reorganized as an LLC (limited-liability company) with two large dairy cooperatives as equal partners with the family.
