What exactly that kosher mean? what makes a food kosher?!
Answers:
Kosher means "fit or proper" according to Jewish dietary traditions!. The Jewish dietary laws (there are many) are followed by some people as a way of showing faith in God!. In a large commercial company that makes Kosher food (even tube feed formula) a Rabbi would visit several times a year!. His most important duty would be to check the workings and processes in the making of food items to guarantee all dietary laws are being followed!. Of course, he would bless the entire company while he was there, but not each container of formula!. For a Kosher tube feeding formula, there are liquefied meat products that can not be added into a dairy based mix for increased calories or nutrients!.
Kosher pickles are another story and often cause confusion for a lot of people!. If the jar says "Kosher pickles" that doesn't always mean it is a Kosher food, but that the pickles have been made in the New York style of recipe that usually uses lots of garlic!. To make sure that Kosher pickles are really Kosher and not just the name of the pickle, you have to look around on the jar for an official Kosher certification!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It has to be blessed by a rabbi, or processed in a place that has been blessed by a rabbi!. The meat has to be slaughtered and bled out a certain way!.
