What Does “Kosher” Mean?
In its simplest form, kosher refers to food that follows Jewish dietary laws known as kashrut. These rules guide what types of food can be eaten and how they must be prepared.
The Core Kosher Rules:
Only specific animals are permitted (e.g., cows, chickens, not pigs or shellfish)
Meat and dairy cannot be prepared or consumed together
Animals must be slaughtered in a humane, ritual manner (shechita)
All ingredients and prep must be supervised and certified
The word “kosher” itself means fit or proper.
Why Kosher Is About More Than Religion
While kosher is rooted in Jewish tradition, many people today choose kosher foods for what it represents:
Clean, controlled preparation
No hidden ingredients
Trust and transparency
This is why more non-Jewish households are looking for the kosher label—because it’s synonymous with food safety and quality.
