…Palestinian products exported abroad carry a Jordanian barcode beginning with 625 alongside the label “Product of Palestine.” Israeli products typically begin with 729, and sometimes 871.

Israeli brands — including Jordan River, Mehadrin, Hadiklaim, King Solomon, Carmel Agrexco, Star Dates and others — may therefore appear under neutral branding in foreign markets.

Doing my part, this holiday season’s Medjool dates were from Palestine and Kenya.

Ramadan Kareem :)
