Kosher Food
Kosher food is food that meets Jewish dietary laws. Any food can be called kosher food if it adheres to Jewish law. Foods that are considered Jewish aren't necessarily kosher. Kosher food laws are rather extensive, some are derived from the bible and others through rabbinic interpretations over the years.

If you carry Best Kosher products in your store does the product need a separate slicer?
If a grocery store wanted to carry kosher meat products and sell them as kosher, it would require far more than just a separate slicer. The store would have to have a completely separate section for the kosher meats which includes separate refrigeration, display, equipment including knives and slicers, etc. Any staff working in the kosher section would not be able to just move between the non-kosher and kosher section, they would have to wear different aprons and wash thoroughly to prevent any cross contamination. Additionally, the store would require supervision from a kashrut certification organisation.
How much does it cost one food manufacturer to be certified kosher for one year?
There's no one answer to the cost of kashrut certification as there are many factors that might impact cost: which organisation is doing the certification, the type of product being made, scale of production, etc.
For example, the type of product can impact cost because some products, such as meat, require one or more supervisors to be present at all times to oversee production. Other products, such as vegetables, may only require spot checks. Obviously, it's going to cost more to have one or more supervisors present at all times.
