It means to eat according to the laws of the Torah.

* Land animals must have split hooves and chew their cud.

* Fish have to have scales and fins.

* Birds cannot be amongst those listed as forbidden in the Torah (Deuteronomy ch.14) and cannot be hunters/scavengers.

* Animals must be killed in a specific manner and must be free of all disease.

* As much blood as possible must be removed from meat, since consumption of blood is forbidden (Leviticus ch.17).

* Dairy and meat cannot be combined in the same meal and there's a waiting period between eating one and then the other.

* Fruits and vegetables should be checked to be sure they're free of bugs. Some Jews avoid cauliflower, asparagus, and the like, because of the difficulty in checking them.

Additionally, food must be prepared and handled following kashrut-laws and with kosher ingredients only. Any food that does not meet these requirements cannot be eaten by those who are religiously observant. Foods which are purchased should be labeled as having had kosher supervision during their processing.
