Best Answer

It means the food was inspected by an authorized Orthodox rabbi and given his seal of approval.

_______

Kosher food preparation doesn't require the presence of a rabbi. Any Orthodox observant Jew can supervise commercial food production, these supervisors are called a 'mashgiach'. The term 'kosher certified' means that the food in question is under the supervision of one of the many organisations that are in charge of making sure commercially produced food is kosher.

Is kosher food exclusively seasoned with kosher salt?

No, it is not. Almost all mass produced salts are considered kosher and have been certified kosher by a rabbi or authorized organization. Kosher salt gets its name from from what it was originally used for. Kosher salt is much larger grains and was used to pull the blood out of meats so that it meets the Jewish guidelines. That process is often referred to as "koshering" and that's where kosher salt got its name from. But any salt that is certified free of additives can be certified kosher and used.
