How do Kosher and Halal rules apply to pastries and desserts?
Selina Corwin
A pastry that is purely vegetarian could be both kosher and halal. If a pastry contains lard, it is neither kosher nor halal. The use of carmine (red number 4), it is not kosher or hallal because carmine comes from a forbidden insect (cherry filling frequently has carmine die to make it an intense red). If a pastry contains rum, it might be kosher but it won't be hallal. If a butter-based pastry contains beef (for example, "pigs in a blanket" made with beef Hot Dogs), it could be hallel, but it is not kosher. (I say "could be" because both kosher and hallal certification are also concerned with the implements and oven used for baking, and with the provenance of the ingredients.)

Why is a kosher sign needed on Israeli products?
The kosher sign is known as a hechsher stamp and is intended to show that the food marked with it is suitable for consumption by observant Jews. It's not needed, but you will see it on many Israeli products nevertheless. This is because the majority of foods originating in Israel will be marketed to Jewish people around the world, and many Jews eat only kosher or parve foods - kosher being those foods produced strictly according to the laws of kashrut and parve being those foods such as fruit and vegetables to which kosher laws do not apply. Palestinians in israel, many of whom are Muslim and will only eat halal food - halal being food approved by Islamic law - benefit from the kosher signs too, because any food deemed kosher is also halal.
Does kosher only apply to food?

In order for fish to be kosher it has to have scales and fins. Dolphins do not meet this requirement and therefore are not kosher.

In actual fact, provided it hasn't been made with animal fat or non-kosher milk (milk from non-kosher animals), all bread is parve - meaning it's neither kosher nor trief(non-kosher). The laws that define whether food is kosher or treif apply only to meat and dishes containing dairy consumed within a certain period of meat being consumed. Challah usually contains eggs, which are also parve, but does not contain any other animal product.
