Meals, Military, Kosher (MREs) – Religious Meals
Kosher food is any food fit for consumption by Jewish people. The laws of kosher define which foods a person can and cannot eat. Kosher as a word refers to food prepared in accordance with Jewish rules and rituals so it can be eaten by religious Jews.
Kosher food is essentially food that does not have any non-kosher ingredients. What makes something kosher is that meat and milk products are not mixed together.
- Meat: Selected birds are kosher, as well as mammals that are cloven-hoofed (have split hooves) and chew their cud.
- Dairy: Dairy products must originate from a kosher animal, and cheeses cannot be processed alongside meat products such as rennet (cow stomach).
- Pareve: Any food that is not meat or dairy, for example, vegetables, fruits, grains, fish, and eggs, is considered pareve.
