Kosher foods follow the ancient Levitical law of The Bible. God, after rescuing the Israelite nation from slavery in Egypt, made a kind of deal with the people. He would always dwell known among if they followed his commands. The famous Ten Commandments were among these. He also gave dietary laws making certain foods "un-kosher". The reason for these is assumed to be partially as a way of protecting the nation by monitoring their food consumption. Without refrigeration and the intricate processing of today, many of the foods would have been dangerous. These laws are still kept today by Orthodox Jews. A special label has been put on foods in modern times to identify them as safe. These foods are "Kosher".
