Empire Kosher Poultry, the world's largest kosher poultry processor, was founded on the principle of producing premium-quality poultry while observing the Jewish Dietary Laws, collectively known as kashrus, which require a natural cleansing and preparation process.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Central Pennsylvania, Empire has built its reputation on providing an exceptional product to both Jews and gentiles. Nearly 25 percent of its customers are not Jewish. They purchase Empire because they find the taste superior to ordinary poultry and enjoy the health benefits of the kosher process.

Empire, which was founded in 1938, is becoming the choice of a growing number of people who choose kosher meats for non-religious reasons. They repeatedly praise the taste and prefer the natural kosher process used to prepare the poultry. The New York Times and Boston Globe rated Empire Kosher Poultry number one in taste tests.

"Tasters said the golden skin was 'picture perfect', with both light and dark meat moist and flavorful," the Globe article said of Empire, which finished on top in a comparison with four other brands.
