Food And Kosher MRE Products

By Alyce Powell


MRE in a nutshell stands for ready to eat meals. These service providers of Kosher MRE have been in the business for some time and supply the army with rationed meals as well as other government and private services world wide. They are USA based and provide wholesome meals to those people who eat kosher.

What makes these food rationing packets acceptable to be consumed among those that abide by Jewish law is quite numerous. Firstly when preparing foodstuffs such as these the main law that must be obeyed is that meat and milk products may not come into contact with each other. This is the basis of this law but it also extends to the slaughtering of animals which is done in ritual manner with a sharpened knife.

A person who is involved with this process of food stuffs is called a mashgiach. Basically he or she must be Jewish and must abide by the laws of the old testament. Slaughtering is done different and is carried out in a ritual fashion with prayers before commencement of the actual slaughtering. A certain length blade is used and this instrument must be free of any kinks in it so as not to harm the animal excessively.

Their studies incorporates a great deal of law that is derived out of the written books of Moses as well as from the Oral law. Besides this they must be Jews who keep the Sabbath as well as other prescribed laws that they must adhere to. Kashrut as it is conglomeratively referred to is the knowledge of all the laws and practices surrounding this part of Judaism.

Where the food ends up is on the plates of many a soldier and even those who prefer MRE meals when hiking. Apart from this in the Jewish home these laws are kept. They are quite simple really where dairy and meat products are kept separately in the kitchen.

The law stems from a biblical passage which says that you are not allowed to cook a calf in the milk of the mother. This has been said to teach the individual compassion and thereby shows respect to the animal kingdom too. These foods are noticeable by a stamp that they carry and are certified as such by many health departments.

Thought shalt not eat a calf in its mothers milk. It is a law that Jewish observers follow to the umpteenth degree and so it is with production of Kosher MRE foodstuffs where both these ingredients are kept separate in their preparation.

This law is know as Chok and the word is pronounced with its sound emanating from the back of the throat. It is a Hebrew word but more importantly it is a law that is not entirely understood but one that must be obeyed. It is said that the human soul requires soul food so to speak and this is why these laws are not questioned but speculated upon.

After this has been done the meat is salted to get rid of any excess blood that it contains. It is said that blood is the life giver to the body and in it is contained a projection of the soul of the animal. This is why kosher food is drained of excess blood.

Kosher MRE is a USA based company. They have been around for some time and known to many who use their services. Kosher laws are strictly adhered to just as they are in any preparation of foodstuffs that warrant the kashrut stamp of approval.
