中国食品安全引进犹太洁食标准

http://www.oukosher.org.cn 为了了解洁食(Kosher)的含义，我们可以用以下方式来解读Kosher: Keep 保持 Our 我们 Souls 灵魂 Healthy 健康 Eat 饮食 Right 得当 由此可以看出，洁食(Kosher)其实与人们身体本身的健康没有什么关系，纯粹是代表精神的健康，虽然从营养的角度，洁食(Kosher)食品对人体健康也确有好处。 As you can see Kosher has nothing to do with the physical aspect of health, it is purely spiritual, although from a nutritional point of view, Kosher products are better for you.

Where a listing of brands appears above the product(s), this indicates that all products below are marketed under all brand names above. All whole frozen kosher poultry must have the metal seal (plumba) on the wing. The Liver must be removed from the cavity and broiled separately in accordance with kashruth procedures.

"Kosher" 在希伯来文中是恰到好处的意思，一般用来指按照犹太饮食法的规定制作的食品。 "Kosher", in Hebrew, means fit or proper, and is generally used to describe foods that are prepared in accordance with special Jewish dietary laws. 犹太洁食（KOSHER）饮食戒律的起源？ WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF KOSHER DIETARY LAW? 所有犹太洁食饮食规定源自圣经，出自摩西的五卷书《旧约全书首五卷》中。圣经详细地列举了非洁净的肉类，禽类，鱼类和昆虫。另外，犹太学者们数百年来一直致力于洁食律法的研究、理解并付诸实施。关于洁食律法的著述可谓卷帙浩繁，其中许多成书于两千多年前。博大精深的圣经和犹太法典构成了洁食律法的主要内容。 The source of all Kosher dietary laws is the Bible, in the Five Books of Moses (the Pentateuch). The Bible details which forms of meat, fowl, fish and insects are not Kosher. In addition, Jewish scholars have studied, interpreted and applied Kosher law for many centuries. Thousands of volumes have been written about this topic. Many of these books date back as far as two thousand years ago. This vast array of Biblical and Rabbinic literature comprises the body of Kosher law. 哪些食品是非洁食品？ WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLOES OF NON-KOSHER FOODS? 按照圣经的定义，肉类中的猪肉、兔肉和马肉，禽类中的猫头鹰和鹤，鱼类中的鲇鱼、鳗鱼、甲壳类虾和章鱼，以及昆虫，都是非洁净食品。另外，洁净的肉、禽必须是由经过专门训练的专家宰杀，宰杀时要举行仪式，宰杀的过程必须是无痛的。乳和肉混合的食品是非洁食品。对于奶酪、葡萄汁和葡萄酒的生产也有专门规定。 Animals, such as portk, rabbit and horsemeat, foul, such as owl and stork, fish, such as catfish, eels, shellfish, shrimp and octopus and insects are non-Kosher foods according to Biblical definitions. In addition, Kosher meat and fowl must be slaughtered by a specially trained expert in a painless ritual fashion in order to be acceptable. Dairy and meat products which commingle are not kosher, There are also special laws relating to cheese, grape juice and wine production. 洁食律法实行多少年了？ HOW LONG HAS KOSHER LAW BEEN OBSERVED? 犹太人民遵从洁食律法已经有3000多年了。 The Jewish people have observed Kosher law for over 3000 years. 一些加工过的食品，如苏打水、曲奇饼或薯片，会是非洁食品吗？ CAN A PROCESSED FOOD LIKE SODA, COOKIES OR POTATO CHIPS BE NON-KOSHER? 有可能。因为只有在食品中的所有配料都符合饮食法规定的前提下，该食品才是洁净的。只要有一种配料不合要求，整个食品就是非洁净的。苏打水中可能含一种叫做海狸香的增香剂，是从海狸提取的。曲奇饼中可能含有从动物脂肪中提取的非洁净的乳化剂。薯片可能是用动物油炸制的。另外，洁净食品必须用洁净设备加工。用于热加工非洁净食品的设备是非洁净设备，必须经过洁净处理（热水或高温清洁的一种特殊清洁工序），才可以用于加工洁净食品。 Yes. This is because all ingredients and subunits in a product must conform to the dietary laws in order for the food item to be considered Kosher. Even one non-Kosher ingredient can render the entire product unsuitable. Soda may contain a flavor enhancer called castorium which is extracted from beavers. Cookies may contain a non-Kosher emulsifier which is derived from animal fat. Potato chips may be fried in animal oil. In addition, Kosher food must be processed on Kosher equipment. Equipment used with heat for non-Kosher production is rendered non-Kosher and must be Kosherized (through a special cleaning process of hot water or intense heat) to be fit for Kosher service and use. 申请OU认证有什么好处？ WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF CHOOSING OU SUPERVISION? 1.

If desired the OU will be happy to sign a confidentiality agreement with your company. 教职现场检察员进行工厂访问的频率？ HOW OFTEN WILL A RABBINIC FIELD INSPECTOR VISIT MY PLANT? 取决于生产流程的特性及其复杂程度，容易导致不洁的配料的数量。根据不同情况，检察员也许半年检查一次，也许要全时检查。 This will depend on the nature of your operation, the level of complexity of the operation and the number of Kosher sensitive ingredients. Inspections may be as infrequent as semi-annual or as much as full-time supervision. 为什么要检查我，是不是对我不信任？ WHY MUST I BE INSPECTED? DONT'T YOU TRUST ME? 只有当确信客户是可信赖时，我们才进入监查程序。然而，按照定义，监查不仅仅以信赖为基础。所有的执法机构都是如此，像美国药监局(USDA)。消费者依赖的是我们这样的独立的验证机构，只有通过我们经过训练的现场代表的定期检查才可能获得验证结果。由于我们严格的标准和严格的检验要求，ou标记对广大消费者就是可信赖的标志。 We only enter into supervisory arrangements when we feel comfortable that we can trust our clients.

The consumer is relying on the indepoendent verification of our organization, and this can only be achieved by regular visitations by our trained representative. The OU symbol is the mark of trust for millions of consumers because of our exacting standards and our rigorous inspection requirements. OU是否接受其他机构认证过的配料？ DOES THE OU ACCEPT INGREDIENTS THAT ARE CERTIFIED BY OTHER KOSHER AGENCIES? 经常接受。洁食认证的标准不尽相同。例如，有的认证机构对工厂的访问频率比其他认证机构要高一些。OU接受许多认证机构的认证结果，只要这些机构的认证标准与OU的标准有可比性。 Very often. There are different standards of Kosher supervision. For example, some agencies visit facilities more frequently than others. The OU accepts numerous supervisions of other certifying bodies, provided the standards are at a level that is comparable to OU standards. OU乳制品与OU素馨食品的区别？ WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN OU DAIRY AND OU PAREVE? 犹太教的洁食律法禁止乳制品与肉制品同时食用。食品中哪怕只有一种配料是乳品或肉品，或者某一组分是在曾加工过乳品或肉品的设备上生产的，该食品应被视为乳制品或肉制品。为了提醒洁食消费者注意食品的属性，OU洁食标签分别以OU Dairy或OUD代表乳制品；OU Meat表示肉类食品；OU Pareve或OU表示素馨食品。 Jewish Kosher law does not allow the consumption of dairy and meat products together. Even if only one ingredient in a product is dairy or meat, or if an item is processed on equipment previously used for dairy or meat production, the product has a dairy or meat status. To alert the Kosher consumer to the status of a products, dairy items are labeled OU Dairy or OUD, meat items are labeled OU Meat, and neutral items are labeled OU Pareve (pareve=neutral) or just plain OU. 逾越节洁食认证是什么意思？ WHAT DOES KOSHER FOR PASSOVER MEAN? 根据犹太教饮食律法，在八天的逾越节（每年三月或四月）期间，严禁使用任何发酵的谷物和豆类。食品标签上OU PASSOVER或OUP字样表示：该食品经过专门监制，可以在逾越节食用。 Jewish dietary law prohibits the consumption of various leavened grains and legumes during the eight days of the Passover holiday. (Passover occurs in March or April.) OU Passover or OUP indicates that a product is processed under special supervision which renders it acceptable for Passover consumption. 您可以向我们索取“洁食录像带”，以便更好地了解洁食认证的意义和洁食监察的过程。 You may request a copu of "The Kosher Video" which gives an entertaining and informative overview of what Kosher means and how Kosher supervision is provided. 您可以访问我们的网站http://www.oukosher.org/kosher/，增强对洁食认证的了解。 You can read more about Kosher in our online Kosher section http://www.oukosher.org/kosher/ 最后，饮食教规联合认证机构的标志OU是世界上最出色的认证标志。 OU饮食教规部取得如此骄人的成绩，是一千多名教职协调员、监察员、食品化学家和辅助人员的努力：OU对全球54个国家的5,500间工厂，2,505家公司和250,000个品牌、酒店、餐馆和服务业提供了认证服务。 Finally, the JOINT KASHRUTH CERTIFICATION SERVICE who's OU is the world's preeminent kashruth symbol.
