Kosher foods

Kosher foods are those that conform to the regulations of kashrut (Jewish dietary law). Food that may be consumed according to halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English, from the Ashkenazi pronunciation of the Hebrew term kashér (, ), meaning "fit" (in this context, fit for consumption). Food that is not in accordance with Jewish law is called treif (, , derived from trafáh) meaning "torn."
