In regard to food:

Treif (טרף), which is spelled in various ways and translates into English as "torn." Originally, treif referred only to meat from animals killed by other animals (ie; carrion or animals hunted with dogs etc.) but over time it has come to mean any non-kosher food. Many types of food, either to which kosher laws do not apply or those which a produced using only ingredients to which kosher laws do not apply, are called parve.

In regard to ritual objects, such as a tallit or a Torah scroll:

Pasul (פסול), "unfit for use"
