What Needs to Happen For Kosher Foods

Plant-based foods are considered pareve, or neutral in the grand scheme of kosher foods. Just like fish and eggs. This simply means that they do not contain meat or dairy and can be eaten with either of those food groups. These foods also have their own set of kosher guidelines, though these guidelines are a little less restrictive compared to meat and dairy. They mostly deal with how they are processed. Let's take a look at some information about these kosher foods.

Grains and Bread

Grains and grain-based foods are considered kosher when in their purest form. However, there are certain processing methods that may ultimately make them not kosher. Processed grains, like bread, may not be kosher due to the equipment during their making or if certain ingredients are used. Breads commonly use oils or shortening during their making. So, if an animal-based shortening is used, the bread may not be considered kosher.

Furthermore, deeming something not kosher can also come down to the equipment used. If certain baking pans or other equipment are greased with animal-based fats or otherwise used to cook any meat or dairy-containing dish, then the end product is not kosher anymore.

As you may suspect, these types of processing methods are not typically disclosed on a standard nutrition or ingredient label. So bread and grain products must be certified kosher in order to ensure that the food complies with all relevant guidelines. At D & R Central Baking, we make sure all of the bakeries we work with are kosher certified.

Fruits and Vegetables

In their unprocessed form, fruits and vegetables are kosher. However, to ensure they remain kosher, they must be inspected for the presence of insects or larvae before selling. On top of that, fruit and vegetable products that are produced using non-kosher equipment, like anything that processes meat and milk, are not kosher.

Nuts, Seeds, and Oils

In general, nuts, seeds and the oils they produce are kosher. However, the processing of these foods are often complicated. And in many instances these processing methods lead to nuts, seeds and their oils to becoming non-kosher. This is mostly due to the cross-contamination that may happen with equipment that also processes and handles meats and dairy products.

Many vegetable and seed oils undergo several complicated steps before they are considered edible. So, each of these steps need to be closely checked in order to best ensure adherence to kosher guidelines. Which means you likely need to check the label for kosher certifications, which is standard procedure when we work with these food outlets.

Wine

In order for wine to be kosher, it must be produced using kosher equipment and ingredients. This includes any tools that are used to harvest and prepare the grapes for fermentation. And since wine is important to many Jewish religious occasions, there are stricter rules imposed. In many cases, the entire kosher wine production process must be carried out and supervised by practicing Jews. If not, then the wine cannot be called kosher.
