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.
