Let&#8217;s see what this certification entails and how it is obtained.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>The Hebrew word &#8220;Kosher&#8221; means fit, proper, or suitable. Foods labeled as Kosher are those that meet the requirements of the dietary laws established in the Torah and the Talmud. These laws are known as the laws of Kashrut and mainly regulate two aspects: the foods that are permitted to eat and the way to prepare them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Knowing all the rules requires years of study of the sacred texts, but let&#8217;s look at a sample of them to understand what this certification means. The only mammals allowed for consumption are those that chew their cud (ruminants) and have split hooves. When it comes to slaughtering the animals, the death must be as painless as possible and is carried out by people who have passed the control of the rabbinical authorities.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Another group of foods to consider are eggs and dairy products. Eggs are kosher if they come from a kosher animal, but dairy products are a much more complex group. Of course, they must come from kosher animals, but meat and dairy products must not be mixed, meaning they should not be eaten at the same time, served at the same moment, or prepared on the same surfaces or with the same utensils. Vegetables and legumes are also regulated; they must not have been treated with pesticides or be genetically modified, and they cannot come from trees less than 3 years old.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Finally, let&#8217;s talk about processed foods, a group that includes the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hispanagar.com\/es\/productos\">food agars<\/a> from Hispanagar. Every processed food must be made from kosher raw materials, and its production process must meet a series of requirements ranging from hygiene to equipment.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>When a food has the kosher certification, it means it meets all the precepts. The kosher certificate is obtained through a kashrut agency that will review the production or processing of the food to ensure it meets the specifications. In the case of Hispanagar, one of the requirements that had to be met for obtaining the certificate was that a rabbi visited our facilities and reviewed one by one the manufacturing processes of the food agars before giving his approval to the audit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>The food agar is a vegan product, and therefore, it is easier to comply with kosher rules. It does not contain animal-derived products, neither in the raw material nor in auxiliary elements. Additionally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hispanagar.com\/es\/compania\">Hispanagar factory<\/a> is arranged so that the agar production lines are exclusively dedicated to manufacturing this product, ensuring that no element that could contravene the Kosher touches its surfaces.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The food agar from Hispanagar has had the Kosher certification for over 20 years.
