Market Overview

Kosher foods are those that conform to the regulations of "kashrut," or Jewish dietary law, and must undergo various special treatments. Food that can be consumed according to "halakha," Jewish law, is termed kosher in English, derived from the Ashkenazi pronunciation of the Hebrew term "kashér," meaning "fit." Conversely, food that does not meet Jewish law is known as "treif," meaning "torn." Many foods, dishes, and beverages hold significant importance in various religions. One of the latest food trends is the vigorous increase in demand for kosher-certified products. To meet this growing demand, numerous supermarkets and food companies worldwide offer a wide variety of kosher products, such as juices, pasta, cereals, bread, and more. The increasing popularity of kosher food will require more products and businesses to obtain certification. As this food trend grows, producers must stay current by securing the necessary certification to capitalize on this shift in consumer dietary preferences. Those who do will reap long-term benefits, as this appears to be a growing trend.
