Kosher food refers to food products that comply with Jewish dietary laws (kashrut), governing the sourcing, preparation, processing, and handling of food. Kosher certification ensures strict quality control, cleanliness, traceability, and adherence to religious standards. While traditionally consumed by Jewish communities, kosher food has gained widespread acceptance among non-Jewish consumers due to its perceived safety, quality, ethical sourcing, and allergen control. The global kosher food market is expanding steadily, driven by rising health awareness, growing demand for certified food products, and increasing availability across mainstream retail channels.
