Labriute was founded in 2002 by Abe Halberstam. Our Company has been the innovator of flameless, self-heating shelf-stable kosher meals. From our inception, our focus has been on manufacturing shelf-stable meals that are also tasty and nutritious. In addition, we have placed an equal importance on ensuring that all of our meals are prepared in highly secure and safe, US-based, manufacturing facilities.
