In today\u2019s multicultural landscape, operators should understand the different dietary practices, such as kosher and halal.
 
The global market for kosher food is expected to reach nearly $13 billion by 2027, according to <\/span>research by Technavio<\/span><\/a>, and North America is expected to contribute to more than half of that growth. Halal foods also are seeing a surge, with spending expected to grow from $1.27 globally in 2021 to $2.04 trillion by 2025, <\/span>Statista reports<\/span><\/a>.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kosher Diet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Food is kosher when it meets dietary requirements outlined by Jewish law or kashrut. A kosher symbol on a food product means the product has been certified kosher by an agency. Only animals that chew their cud, have cloven hooves and are free from disease are considered kosher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kosher<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Halal Diet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is often difficult to classify processed food as strictly halal or haram because of its ingredients. Consequently, it\u2019s important to check labels to see if food is halal-certified. If no certification is specified, verify the ingredients and look for haram (forbidden) ingredients. 
 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Halal<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By serving foods according to these religious principles, you can satisfy the needs of a larger group of guests.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Gordon Food Service Can Help<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Pedidos Gordon<\/a>, use the kosher or halal filter when selecting products and viewing your order guide. Kosher certificates are also available on the Kosher Letters of Certification page<\/a>. Ask your Sales Representative for the Health and Wellness Guide to learn more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
