POSTVILLE, IA — The new owners of the beleaguered kosher meat company Agriprocessors are quickly facing criticism over their early management of the company.

A team of three men took over control of Agriprocessors — now called Agri Star — at the beginning of August.

Baked in a 10-foot-long oven at Gemelli’s Bakery, 129 S. Pugh St., by Tony Sapia, the challah is in contention for a record in the Guinness Book of World Records.
