Get Kosher Compliance
Kosher compliance refers to adherence to the dietary laws and regulations of Kashrut, which are the Jewish dietary laws. The term "Kosher" is derived from the Hebrew word meaning "fit" or "proper," and it signifies that a product or food item meets the requirements set forth in Jewish dietary laws.
Key Principles of Kosher Compliance
- Separation of Meat and Dairy: One of the fundamental principles of kashrut is the separation of meat and dairy products. Meat and dairy cannot be cooked or consumed together, and there must be a waiting period between eating meat and dairy.
- Prohibited Animals: Certain animals are considered unclean or non-kosher and are not allowed for consumption. These typically include animals that do not have both cloven hooves and chew their cud.
- Slaughter and Butchering: Meat must come from animals that have been slaughtered and butchered according to specific kosher laws.
- Certification and Supervision: Many kosher products bear a certification symbol (hechsher) from a recognized kosher certifying agency. The presence of this symbol indicates that the product meets kosher standards and has been supervised by a rabbi or a kosher inspector.
- Kosher for Passover: During the Passover holiday, additional kosher rules are observed. Chametz (leavened products) is prohibited, and special Passover-certified products are used during this time.
