Getting certified
What is kosher?
Kosher is a Hebrew word meaning “fit” or “proper.” Kosher food is food fit for consumption according to Jewish biblical and rabbinic law, while the term “kashrut” refers to the general subject of kosher food.
Some of the basic concepts of kosher include the animals that may be consumed after ritual slaughter and a specific cleaning process, which fish may be consumed, grape derived products may only be handled by a Jew throughout the production and dairy products must be supervised from the milking.
Kashrut laws extend to the equipment used in the cooking, processing and storage of food products. In certain circumstances, equipment must be cleaned and made ‘Kosher’ in a specific process to prepare it for use in Kosher food production.
