The Kosher Foods (Retail) industry involves the sale of food products that adhere to Jewish dietary laws. These laws dictate which foods are considered "kosher" and can be consumed by those who follow the Jewish faith. Kosher foods must be prepared and processed in a specific way, and must not contain certain ingredients such as pork or shellfish. This industry caters to a niche market of consumers who seek out kosher products for religious or personal reasons. The retail aspect of this industry involves the sale of kosher food products to consumers through various channels such as supermarkets, specialty stores, and online retailers. Retailers in this industry must ensure that their products are certified as kosher by a recognized authority, and must adhere to strict guidelines for handling and storing these products. In addition to food products, some retailers in this industry may also sell kosher household items such as cleaning supplies and personal care products.
