Best Answer

The history of kosher (Kashrut; kosher laws; kosher foods) is part of the Torah-history itself, meaning that it goes as far back as the Torah does because it is based on the Torah and is a part of it. Many of the basic Kashrut laws are stated explicitly in the Torah (see Leviticus ch. 11).
