Kosher
A Kosher Certificate verifies that a product, service, or establishment complies with Jewish dietary laws (kashrut), ensuring it is permissible for observant Jewish consumers. These laws, rooted in the Torah, outline specific guidelines for food preparation, ingredient selection, and handling processes.
Key Features:
-
Ingredients: Ensures all ingredients meet kosher standards, avoiding prohibited items like pork or shellfish.
-
Production: Certifies that processing equipment and facilities are kosher and free from contamination with non-kosher substances.
-
Meat and Dairy Separation: Verifies that meat and dairy products are kept entirely separate, including preparation, storage, and serving.
-
Certification Symbol: Products bear a recognizable kosher certification symbol (e.g., OU, OK, Kof-K), signaling compliance to consumers.
Kosher certification applies to a wide range of industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and hospitality, reflecting a commitment to quality and cultural inclusivity.
