Kosher Certification in India
Kosher is a synonym for “Kashrut”. “Kashrut” is a Jewish term derived from the word kaf-shin-resh which means fit. “Kosher” actually means proper or acceptable. The kosher food laws are originated from the Holy book “Bible” and it is observed by Jewish peoples 3300 years back. According to Kosher, there are some Jewish dietary laws in relation to health, food, clothes, lifestyle, beliefs etc. For ex – Clothes abide by specific laws are called kosher clothes, foods abide by specific laws are called Kosher foods and so on. Kosher dietary laws focus not only on food type but also on how the food is prepared and with what ingredients it is prepared with.
The bible lists some basic categories of food which are not considered as “kosher” and includes certain animals like rabbit, pork, sturgeon, owl, eagle, fish which are strictly prohibited for consumption. It also includes most insects and reptiles.
Some rules are also defined for the slaughtering of animals. Species of meat & fowl must be slaughtered in a prescribed manner. In addition to it, you cannot manufacture or consume meat and dairy products together. Even you cannot cook both milk and meat using the same utensils. The “Kosher” law covers many aspects of human food such as meat, parev, fish, eggs and dairy products. It also adds that all fruits & vegetables are consumable but it should not contain any insects. In spite of all these strict rules, Jewish peoples follow these rules to strengthen their connection with god.
It ensures that animals should be treated in a kind manner, offers health benefits to humans as well as serve as a standard to what we eat.
