Overview of Kosher Certification
Term Kosher implies proper and acceptable, referring to a religious dietary practice of Jewish tradition developed over 3,000 years ago. The word Kosher originates from the Hebrew word Kosher, which means "to separate", and the process of Kosher originated from the Biblical Practice of separating pure and impure, then boiling a pot to make pure liquid Kosher. Kosher law or practice is referred to as "Mitzvah", which refers to the Biblical commandment to "do as you please with your property".
