what is kosher?

The term kosher refers to the Jews' dietary laws. This includes never mixing meat with milk, never processing milk-derived products on equipment used for processing meat products and ensuring that kosher birds and animals are slaughtered according to Jewish law.

types of kosher foods:

There are three categories of kosher foods:
  • Milk - any product derived from milk or any product processed on equipment used for milk-products.
  • Meat - any product derived from kosher meat or kosher fowl or products processed on equipment used for meat-products.
  • Parve: All products that do not contain meat or milk ingredients and which were not processed on equipment used for either one.
What will determine a company's ability to become kosher will depend both on the source of its ingredients and the status of its equipment.
