The following symbols can be found on food products and certain non-food items like soaps, etc. Each certifying organization carefully inspects the ingredients, machinery and processing methods to make sure no unclean animals, as stated in Leviticus 11 & Deuteronomy 14, are used. It is not possible to simply read the ingredients to determine if a product is Scripturally clean. While the ingredient label may not list an unclean ingredient, that does not mean an unclean animal by-product was not used in the processing. For example, if a product lists “natural flavour” as an ingredient, the flavour could be derived from cats, whales, beavers, etc. Those animals are indeed “natural,” but they are not kosher (Scripturally clean). If, however, “natural flavours” is listed, but there is a kosher symbol on the item, it would mean the natural flavour was not from an unclean source.
