WHAT IS KOSHER?
Kosher food is a term that applies to foods that meet standards of being fit for consumption by people observant of Jewish dietary laws.
Kosher Food can be grouped into three categories:
-
Foods that are inherently Kosher. These are foods like fruits and vegetables that are not processed in any way. -
Foods that are processed in a plant may be Kosher if the ingredients and process used, meet Kosher criteria and are supervised by a reliable Kosher authority. -
Foods that can never be Kosher, i.e. pork or shellfish.
Foods are further classified as: Dairy, Meat, Pareve (neutral – neither Dairy nor Meat, ie. Fish, eggs, fruits and vegetables) and for Passover Use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get quick answers about how our Kosher certification process works, from understanding what “Kosher” means to how we guide you on every step of the way.
If something is certified Kosher, does that mean it's super healthy?
Unfortunately not! Kosher means that according to religious dietary laws, certain foods can or can’t be eaten, regardless of their health benefits, or lack thereof.
Incorrect! Fruits and vegetables that are inherently Kosher can still present challenges, such as insects that are found in them, or where they come from.
Food needs to be blessed by a rabbi "in order" for it to be Kosher, correct?
Incorrect. There are a combination of factors that need to be satisfied, including the type of food, how it’s prepared, and how it’s sold, among others.
Does becoming Kosher only help Jewish people that have dietary laws?
No. Jewish people are actually the minority of those who seek Kosher certification on foods! People of other faiths and religions, people with allergies, people with an aversion to meat, vegetarians and pescatarians as well all seek Kosher certified products.
Can any type of animal be Kosher if it is prepared according to kosher law?
No. Livestock are kosher if they have split hooves and chew their cud. Fish are Kosher if they have fins and scales. Kosher fowl are based on tradition.
Is it required for a Rabbi to be at our facility 24/7 if we become certified Kosher?
Usually not, but depending on what’s being manufactured/served will determine how often the Rabbi will need to visit, ranging from all business hours of the day, to daily, once a week, once a month or once a year.
