- The meat, milk and eggs of certain species of animal are permitted for consumption, while others are forbidden. In addition, a series of laws govern how the animal should be killed and which parts of the animal can be eaten.
- Meat and milk are never combined. Separate utensils are used for each, and a waiting period is observed between eating them.
- Fruits, vegetables and grains (from the diaspora) are basically always kosher, but must be insect free. Wine or grape juice, however, must be certified kosher.
- Since even a small trace of a non-kosher substance can render a food not kosher, all processed foods and eating establishments require certification by a reliable rabbi or kashrut supervision agency.
