	Kashrut at Home--Va'ad HaRabanim of Greater Seattle
		The word "kosher" can also be used, and often is used, to describe ritual objects that are made in accordance with Jewish law and are fit for ritual use.
		A utensil picks up the kosher "status" (meat, dairy, pareve, or treyf) of the food that is cooked in it or eaten off of it, and transmits that status back to the next food that is cooked in it or eaten off of it.
		Kosher status can be transmitted from the food to the utensil or from the utensil to the food only in the presence of heat, thus if you are eating cold food in a non-kosher establishment, the condition of the plates is not an issue.

	Judaism 101: Kashrut: Jewish Dietary Laws
		Food can be kosher without a rabbi or priest ever becoming involved with it: the vegetables from your garden are undoubtedly kosher (as long as they don't have any bugs, which are not kosher!).

		While thousands of kosher consumers in New York are left without protection from fraud, top state officials are headed in separate directions in their efforts to craft a new bill.

	FindLaw's Writ - Colb: Why Kosher Fraud Statutes Aren't Kosher

		On one interpretation of Jewish law, for instance, the command to "be fruitful and multiply" permits married couples to use some kinds of birth control once they have produced one boy and one girl.
		It is only this sort of fraud in Kosher labeling that is actionable in New Jersey, for example, after its highest court in 1992 struck down a regime similar to the New York Kosher Fraud Statutes, on Establishment Clause grounds.
