Why is sea salt kosher even though in the sea it touches many non-kosher animals?

Sea salt is a mineral and so long as anything that is non-kosher is not added to the dry salt crystals the salt is kosher. To say that sea salt is not kosher because non-kosher aquatic life lives in the ocean would be the same as saying that all fruits and vegetables are not kosher because they've come in contact with bugs.

No. While kashrut (the laws that dictate whether a food is kosher) has certain rules for what and when certain milk products can be eaten, there is no law that restricts their consumption entirely. In general, there are three rules that pertain to milk consumption: 1) kosher milk is derived entirely from kosher animals and not mixed with the milk from unclean animals; 2) kosher dairy foods (those containing milk) must contain only kosher milk; and 3) milk cannot be prepared or consumed at meat meals.

>What Are Kosher and KashrutThe production of vitamins requires the use of dozens of ingredients, if not more, many of which are made at various locations around the world under vastly different laws and jurisdictions. For this reason, determining whether certain vitamins are kosher can be very difficult. The easiest way to find kosher vitamins is to look for vitamins that have been certified as being completely kosher, although these can be rare depending on the area. There are some guidelines for what is considered a kosher vitamin, but they are frequently disputed by experts in the field, and there are numerous interpretations of the kosher laws.The largest problem with determining whether vitamins are kosher has to do with ingredients that are derived from animals. Since the method of slaughter and condition of the animals cannot be known, the ingredients that are derived from the animals are therefore not considered kosher. This includes some emulsifiers, stearates, and vitamins like D. Synthetic versions of these ingredients exist, as do forms that have been extracted from plant based sources. If a vitamin does not specifically state that it is kosher, or that it uses no animal based ingredients, then it is most likely not kosher.Even though vitamins are not kosher, there are exceptions under the kosher laws that can allow vitamins to be taken anyway. These laws state that exceptions to the kosher laws can be made for those who are sick and require medicine. This means that if a person is suffering from a vitamin deficiency or requires vitamins to cure a condition, then it is acceptable to take vitamins regardless of their kosher status. Some authorities have stated that taking non-kosher vitamins is acceptable if they are swallowed and not eaten since they would not then be a food product. The problem resurfaces, however, if the vitamins are in liquid form, since liquids must be consumed like food.In the event that kosher certified vitamins are unavailable and there is not a pressing medical condition, there is a good chance that vegan or vegetarian vitamins are actually kosher. One of the only vitamins that is not kosher and that has no synthetic counterpart is glucosamine and chondrotian, which is derived from shellfish that are strictly forbidden under kosher dietary laws.
