Do you buy kosher food? Do you do so for religious reasons or simply because you’re one of those people who believe it’s healthier than regular supermarket food? Research shows that a growing number of supermarket shoppers are opting for kosher foods because they think it’s better for their health.
Between 2003 and 2008, sales of kosher food have increased by 64% say market research firm Mintel, reaching $12.5 billion. The market research also found that 62% of those who do buy kosher food believe it’s of a better quality than the other supermarket food, while 51% buy it because they believe it’s healthier, and only 15% buy it for religious reasons.
About one third of participants in the research study say they think the safety standards of kosher foods are higher than that of regular supermarket food. And this might be true as kosher foods are put subjected to a number of processing rules defined by Jewish law before it can be placed in the aisles.

This is a topic near and dear to me. I became more religious (Torah Observant Jew) nine years ago so at first keeping kosher was strictly for those reason. Today, I am even more excited about kosher food because it can be healthier, there are plenty of kosher consumer products available. I wrote about this on my blog over a year ago, check it out!
