Kosher defined
Kosher is a Hebrew term that means “fit” or “proper.” When kosher is used in reference to food, it means that it conforms to Jewish dietary laws. There are 2 main elements that determine whether food is kosher. They are 1. The source of food: animal or plant; 2. The condition of the equipment used to prepare the food.

Circle-U has the greatest expertise that assures our customers that Boston Tea Company meets the requirements of being kosher. The Boston Tea Company signifies it is kosher certified by using special seals on its products, which represent that they meet the necessary conditions to be kosher and that they are of the highest quality.

Does Kosher only apply to Jewish people?
No, many people look for the kosher seal when buying food. It helps many Muslims, Christian sects, vegetarians, and others who are concerned about the quality of their food. When a company is kosher certified, there are expected regulations by which it must operate. Thus, the kosher seal of approval gives the company and its products more credence.
