The Campaign Against Antisemitism, which monitors antisemitic incidents across Britain, said the case is not isolated and has documented similar occurrences in other locations. The group called the messages “vandalism disguised as activism” that does not advance peace in the Middle East.

“These are certified kosher products. Jewish shoppers should be able to buy them without facing targeted acts designed to harass or intimidate them,” the group said in a statement. It added that the wider public should also be able to shop without being bombarded with inflammatory or political messaging.

The organization cited a recent survey showing that more than four-fifths of British Jews view boycotts of Israeli products as a form of intimidation. It warned that such incidents, while framed as activism, contribute to a climate of hostility against Jewish communities in the U.K.

Campaign Against Antisemitism urged retailers and the public to be vigilant against the placement of politically motivated materials on kosher products and called for stronger action against what it described as antisemitic vandalism. The group said it would continue documenting and reporting similar incidents to raise awareness and protect Jewish communities.
