How does food become Kosher?

Keeping kosher includes not eating pork, some fish, and a few other animals based on restrictions. You don't keep the food kosher, it just is. However, even if food was kosher, it can become non-kosher. To keep already kosher food kosher, avoid circumstances where the food will come into contact with non-kosher food. Also avoid touching it to utensils that were used for non-,kosher. If kosher food does happen to come into contact with these things, contact your local Orthodox Rabbi. The laws are extremely complicated, and they fill up whole volumes. Each case is different, and multiple factors are involved. When in doubt, ask.
