About The Manischewitz Company
In August 2004, the company changed its
name from The B. Manischewitz Company, LLC to R.A.B. Food Group, LLC and today
is now known as The Manischewitz Company.
The Manischewitz Company is a specialty food company
that includes the Manischewitz®, Season®, Guiltless

The Manischewitz brand was
founded in a small bakery built to make Passover matzo in 1888 by Rabbi Dov
Behr Manischewitz in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1932, Rabbi Manischewitz opened
a plant in Jersey City, NJ, replacing the operation in Cincinnati. This
move paved the way for the introduction of new products like Tam Tam Crackers,
Chicken Soup, Noodles and Gefilte Fish. Today, all plant operations take
place in Newark, NJ. Manischewitz continues to introduce unique, delicious,
premium specialty food products such as macaroons, baking mixes, coating crumbs
