What Is Kosher?

The word kosher means proper or acceptable. The main principles of Kosher have their origin from the Five Books of Moses in the Bible. They are classified as "Statutes" - no reason is given for keeping them other than Jews are commanded to do so. The Kosher laws have been applied ever since to the increasing complex world of food ingredients and food production.

What Is Kosher Certification?

Contrary to popular misconception, rabbis or other officials do not bless food to make it "kosher". Food can be kosher without a rabbi ever becoming involved: the vegetables from your garden are undoubtedly kosher (as long as they do not have any insects).

If that is the case, why do so many foods require kosher supervision and certification?

The answer is that all the ingredients in the preparation of the product must be kosher and the production process must be kosher as well. Unless a person visits every manufacturing plant, the consumer would find it impossible to determine whether or not a given item is kosher. In addition, complex worldwide manufacturing and distribution has brought new pressures in determining whether a given ingredient or manufacturing process is kosher.

With kosher certification, the task of determining if ingredients or products are kosher is greatly simplified. The kosher symbol system helps consumers find kosher products inspected by a reliable kosher certification agency.

Products that have been certified as kosher are labeled with a symbol or mark called a "hecksher" (from the same Hebrew root as the word kosher) that identifies the rabbi or organization that certified the product. Most kosher certification marks are trademarked logos and cannot be used without the permission of the certifying organization. The certifying organization assures you that the product meets their kosher standards.

KOSHER PAREVE (sometimes known as Parve or Parev)

Pareve means neutral, indicates a product which contains no derivatives of poultry, meat, or dairy ingredients. Jews are not allowed to eat milk and meat (including poultry) in the same meal. Therefore a neutral or pareve product can therefore be eaten with either a meat, or dairy meal. Examples of pareve items include all fruits, vegetables, eggs from kosher birds, kosher fish, etc and their derivatives.

KOSHER FOR PASSOVER (sometimes known as Kosher Le Pesach)

Kosher for Passover refers to foods and food ingredients acceptable for use during the Passover holiday which require special preparation. Generally for Passover, Jews are not allowed to eat any food of grain (wheat, barley, oat, spelt, rye) or its derivatives.

KOSHER FOR PASSOVER KITNIYOT

Kitniyot refers to legumes. Some examples (of Kitniyot) are rice, corn, peas, mustard seed, and the whole bean family (i.e. kidney, lima, garbanzo, etc.). Although not of grain origin, many Jews do not eat any legumes for Passover. However in Middle Eastern communities, corn, soy, rapeseed, peanut and beans are allowed for Passover and they are called Kosher for Passover Kitniyot. The word Kitniyot means legumes which differentiate it from the normal Kosher for Passover which contains no legumes at all. Therefore in Kosher certification of products, the terms Kosher for Passover and Kosher for Passover Kitniyot are used to indicate a product's Passover status.

KOSHERING OR KOSHERIZATION

The term Koshering or Kosherization is a creation of modern English referring to the process of changing the status of equipment which had been used with non-kosher ingredients or products, to use with kosher ingredients or products.
