The Hebrew word Kosher (kasher) literally means fit or proper and these laws are Biblical in origin – the Jewish People have applied them to their daily diet for millennia.

The Kosher Certification process involves an examination of the food ingredients as well as the production and the preparation process. Kosher foods are generaly divided into three main categories: Meat, Dairy and Pareve.

Kosher food is essentially food that does not have any non-kosher ingredients in accordance with Jewish law. What makes something kosher is that meat and milk products are not mixed together, animal products from non-kosher animals (like pork, shellfish, and others) are not included, and any meat from kosher animals is slaughtered in the correct procedure.
