“The term” kosher “refers to a diet that conforms to Jewish food standards. It is the kashrut of the table and food that is the food code of Judaism. It groups together, on one hand, all the criteria designating food (animal or vegetable) as allowed or not for consumption, and on the other hand all the laws making it possible to prepare them or make them fit for consumption. The Kosher certification therefore consists of validating the materials and manufacturing processes within the company. Foods in accordance with these laws are then called kosher, “fit” or “suitable” for consumption, and appear on a certificate issued by the rabbi.
