Kosher refers to food and dietary practices that adhere to Jewish dietary laws, known as kashrut. These laws outline which foods are permissible and how they must be prepared to maintain their kosher status. Kosher laws are based on religious traditions found in the Torah and have been followed for thousands of years..
• Meat: Only certain animals are considered kosher, such as cows, sheep, and goats. Poultry like chicken, turkey, and duck are also permitted.
• Seafood: Only fish with fins and scales (such as salmon, tuna, and cod) are kosher. Shellfish, including shrimp, lobster, and crab, are not kosher.
• Dairy: Milk and dairy products must come from kosher animals and be free from any non-kosher additives.
• Fruits & Vegetables: All plant-based foods are inherently kosher, but they must be free from insects, which are not permitted.
• Kosher meat must come from animals that have been slaughtered in a humane and specific manner, called shechita, performed by a trained individual known as a shochet.
• Blood must be completely drained or removed through a salting process before consumption.
• Jewish law prohibits the consumption of meat and dairy together. This applies to preparation, serving, and even utensils used.
• Many kosher households have separate sets of dishes, cookware, and cutlery for meat and dairy meals.
• Processed and packaged foods require kosher certification to ensure they meet strict kosher guidelines.
• Certified products display a kosher symbol (such as OU, K, or KCJ Kosher) to indicate their compliance with kosher standards. /A food product or beverage can apply the kosher label if each ingredient used therein, food additives, colorants, preservatives, process; equipment's and methods are fully compliant with Kosher specifications. A kosher auditor approves the production process before the manufacturer can apply the Kosher logo. Laws are so strict that if equipment's used to manufacture non-kosher foods are used for kosher foods, then that specific food can no longer carry the kosher label.
• Religious Observance: Following kosher laws is an essential part of Jewish tradition and faith.
• Health & Hygiene: The kosher process includes strict inspections, ensuring a high standard of food safety and cleanliness.
