fa2fi - the route to Tel Aviv is very heavy with Jews.
Muslims who adhere to halal food are usually reluctant to eat at a restaurant that also serves alcohol or pork. Jews who adhere to kosher food are usually reluctant to eat at a restaurant that also serves pork or shellfish. It's not just that bacon should not be a major ingredient, but that effort should be made so that bacon flecks cannot accidentally get into food labelled as halal / kosher.

Either Easyjet makes no claim on the kosher side and the Jewish passengers know to bring their own food. Alternatively if Easyjet do want to make a public claim on the kosher side, then serving ham toasties is a bit of a no-no. What Easyjet can't do is sell bacon baguettes without kosher options while making claims about kosher food, and not expect a bit of a fuss.

It's all about setting expectations correctly and consistently meeting those expectations.
