Kof K Kosher Certification has sued JetBlue Airways Corp in New Jersey federal court, alleging JetBlue unlawfully used its trademarks to advertise food it had not certified. According to the lawsuit, Reuters reports, JetBlue sells an artichoke snack that it says is certified by Kof-K Kosher Supervision without the group’s consent.
Kof-K has never certified any of JetBlue’s products as kosher or given the airline permission to use its trademarks, according to the lawsuit.
A JetBlue menu lists artichoke snacks in its “Mediterranean-inspired snackbox” as being “Kosher certified by KOF-K Kosher Supervision.” The menu also offers several other snacks it says were kosher-certified by other groups. The company that makes the artichoke snacks, Elma Farms, was not named in the lawsuit.
Kof-K has requested an unspecified amount of money damages and asked the court to force the airline to pull the snacks and stop using its trademarks, Reuters reports.
