I am looking for a kosher butcher in the Acton, MA area. Does anyone "out there" know of any? A friend of mine is unable to eat anything containing lactose, and her doctor told her that ground beef from a regular butcher or supermarket contained milk in it (anyone know the reason for this?). Many thanx, Caryn

The closest is probably Hurwitz in Framingham. However, it may be more convenient and better selection to go to Harvard St. in Brookline. The Butcherie and Shafrans are across the street from each other (about � way between Comm. Ave. and Beacon St). Gav | |||||

While I wouldn't discourage your friend from getting kosher meat, I
rather doubt the accuracy of her doctor's statement. While it is true
that milk or dairy by-products are common in many prepared foods such
as so-called "all-beef" hotdogs, I find it hard to believe that one can
legally add ANYTHING, milk or otherwise, to ground beef.
May I suggest that your friend ask the butcher who actually prepares
the beef? He/she could also ask the supermarket manager and even ask
the US FDA (agency that regulates foods).
