Israel's favorite Bamba snack is now being sold for less by Trader Joe's


READ MORE

Israeli food giant Osem has started manufacturing Israel’s iconic Bamba snack for U.S. supermarket chain Trader Joe’s. Trader Joe’s Bamba is being sold for less than Osem-branded Bamba both in Israel and in the United States.


The peanut-flavored puffs have caught the attention of American consumers due to studies showing a lower rate of peanut allergies among Israeli children than among their American counterparts, with researchers concluding that their early, repeated exposure to peanuts in snacks such as Bamba is a factor in Israel’s lower peanut allergy rate.


Trader Joe’s is calling its peanut puffs Bamba, just like the original. It is being manufactured in Israel.


Osem brand Bamba has been sold at stores around the United States for several years already. The packaging is identical to that used in Israel, complete with the diapered Bamba baby, except for the writing, which is in English instead of Hebrew.


Trader Joe’s Bamba, on the other hand, has been given a clean orange and white bag, adorned by two elephants.

The grocery chain has some 500 branches within the United States and is considered relatively health conscious and fresh.


Like the Bamba sold in Israel, its Bamba contains only four ingredients, it points out to consumers.


Trader Joe’s is selling 100-gram bags – 3.5 ounces – for $0.99. It’s nearly impossible to find it for such a good price, says the chain, without explicitly mentioning Osem.


In fact, Trader Joe’s packaging makes no mention of its manufacturer, Osem.


In comparison, Osem’s Bamba is sold for $2.50 to $3 per bag in the United States. At the chain Shoprite, a 100-gram bag sells for $2.69; at New Jersey kosher supermarket Glatt Express, smaller 28-gram bags sell for about $1.


In Israel, in comparison, an 80-gram bag of Bamba retails for between 3 shekels at Rami Levy and 4.90 shekels at Shufersal. Based on the price per weight, this works out to $1.06 to $1.74 for the quantity in Trader Joe’s bags.


Osem stated that the American retailers are the ones setting the price of the product there.

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...

Toronto man denies conspiring with Marvel CEO in alleged hate mail scheme

READ MORE A Toronto man accused of conspiring with the head of Marvel Entertainment in a bizarre hate mail campaign against his wealthy former employer has denied any role in the alleged scheme. David Smith, along with Marvel CEO Isaac (Ike) Perlmutter, is the target of a slander lawsuit launched earlier this year by Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom. Now Smith — a former employee of Peerenboom’s Toronto-based executive search firm, Mandrake Management — has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. civil suit. It’s the latest development in the years-long legal battle between Peerenboom and Perlmutter, a notoriously reclusive American billionaire and personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump. The hate mail campaign, which ran   between 2012 to 2015, saw anonymous letters falsely accusing Peerenboom of being a child molester, murderer and anti-Semite...
