Types Of Kosher Certification

The term kosher is a Hebrew word that means fit or correct. It is used to describe the consumable food products that are prepared and processed as per Jewish religious dietary law.

What Is Kosher Certified

Kosher certification is a product certification for food products and drinks. It is a Jewish religious certification for a food product that is mainly pertaining to consumption practice followed by the Jewish community. For a food product to be kosher certified, each ingredient, processing aid, and food additive used in the production must also be kosher. In addition, the product lines and equipment used in production should not be used for non-kosher products. The main aim of kosher certification is to avoid cross-contamination of certain types of food products such as meat, milk, edible oil, and essential oil.
