Which Products Fall Under Kosher Scope?
Kosher and halal meat and meat products are very similar. Pork and its components are also forbidden in the Jewish faith. Likewise, animals that are permitted for consumption must be slaughtered using appropriate methods and conditions, injured or sick animals must not be slaughtered, and the blood must be drained.
Among sea creatures other than fish, shellfish and mollusks are not kosher.
Plant products must be free from insects, parasites and pests.
According to Judaism, for a product to be ultimately kosher, a kosher process must be followed throughout all stages, from its raw state through preparation, processing, cooking and consumption.
Blood may never be consumed. The combined use of meat and dairy products is prohibited.
All equipment used in production, such as tools, materials, containers and ovens, must also be clean and religiously pure.
Why Should You Obtain a Kosher Certificate?

The number of kosher-certified companies increases every year compared to previous years, and kosher-certified products hold a larger market share in the consumer market.
