Kosher is the title given to foods that have been handled and processed according to the Mosaic law passed down the generations from when God spoke to Moses. The kosher process is detailed and, depending on the rabbinical tradition followed, can be very strict as well.
Within the United States and most western countries, there are not significant differences between kosher and non-kosher foods because there are strong food safety and inspection laws within these countries. In developing countries where refrigeration and cold storage may not be available, the kosher process provides some additional security that the food is safe because meat products are stripped of as much blood as possible then caked and stored in salt for a specified amount of time. The salting process, in particular, is a very effective anti-microbial intervention that should kill the vast majority of pathogens on the surface of the meat.
