"Kosher" is a term used to define food that fulfils with the firm dietary standards of traditional Jewish law.

How Kosher agencies came into existence?

Before the beginning of industrially-produced foods, Jewish families used to prepare their food at home only. Back then Jewish families ensured the kashrut of raw ingredients by themselves. They used to take chicken and meat to be slaughtered by a reliable slaughter and they ensured the supervision of milking process also. During the time of food preparation, the lady of the family observed the strict separation of milk and meat products. Later on, in the 20th century, the availability of industrially-produced food products had increased. The industry-based food created the necessity of independent kosher certification for Jewish consumers. The first independent kosher certification agency was established in 1924 by the Orthodox Union (OU) and the second certification agency, OK Laboratories came in existence in 1935. Then after the necessity of Kosher certification agency is increasingly globally hence around 1300 Kosher agencies are working in this field and giving Kosher certificates worldwide.
