ITC Votes to End Case on Kosher Chicken From Canada
The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) today determined that there is not a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of kosher chicken from Canada that is allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value.

Chairman Deanna Tanner Okun, Vice Chairman Jennifer A. Hillman, and Commissioners Stephen Koplan, Charlotte R. Lane, and Daniel R. Pearson voted in the negative. Commissioner Marcia E. Miller voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission's negative injury determination, the antidumping investigation that was requested by Empire Kosher Poultry, Inc. will be terminated.
