Wikipedia
kosher
Kashrut (also kashruth or kashrus, כַּשְׁרוּת) is a set of dietary laws dealing with the foods that Jewish people are permitted to eat and how those foods must be prepared according to Jewish law. Food that may be consumed is deemed kosher ( in English, Yiddish: כּשר), from the Ashkenazic pronunciation (KUHsher) of the Hebrew kashér (כָּשֵׁר), meaning "fit" (in this context: "fit for consumption").

kosher
Kosher is a term used in the Jewish faith to describe food that conforms to the regulations of kashrut (dietary law), primarily derived from Leviticus and Deuteronomy. These laws determine which foods a Jewish person may eat and how those foods must be processed and prepared. For example, only certain types of animals are considered kosher, and dairy and meat products must not be cooked or consumed together. Kosher can also extend to other aspects of Jewish life such as ethical business practices.
