What is the Kosher certificate and what is it for?
The Kosher certificate is a certification that guarantees that food products have been prepared in accordance with the dietary laws of Judaism. This includes ingredient selection, processing methods, and even the utensils used in preparation.
What is the Kosher certificate for?
- Ensures religious compliance: It is essential for Jewish communities following the Kosher diet, allowing them to consume products with full confidence.
- Guarantees quality and purity: Kosher-certified products undergo strict hygiene and quality controls, making them appealing to consumers seeking safe food.
- Expands markets: Companies obtaining this certificate can access international markets and consumers who, even if not Jewish, prefer products with quality certifications.
- Greater transparency: Kosher products must clearly indicate their ingredients and production processes, helping consumers with allergies or specific dietary preferences.
But what does the word “Kosher” mean?
The word “Kosher” comes from Hebrew and means “fit” or “proper”. In the food context, it refers to foods permitted by the Torah, Jewish law, and the preparation processes that must meet strict purity and hygiene standards.
How to obtain Kosher certification?
For a product to be certified Kosher, a certification agency supervises its production and confirms that it meets all standards. The process involves:
- Reviewing ingredients and suppliers
- Inspecting production facilities
- Continuous monitoring by a rabbi or Kosher supervisor
