Sara Lee Corp. said late Wednesday that it intends to shutter its kosher hot dog and meat-processing facility in Chicago by Jan. 30, a move that will cost 185 workers their jobs, because the Downers Grove consumer-product giant has decided to exit the kosher meat business.
Sara Lee will also close an outlet store at the Chicago facility on Pershing Road.
As part of its exit from the kosher meat business, Sara Lee said it will also discontinue distribution of products made under all its kosher meat brands, including Best's Kosher, Sinai Kosher, Shofar and Wilno nameplates.
