What does Glatt Kosher mean?
“And flesh that has been torn in the field, you shall not eat.” — Exodus 22:30. Here Jewish law prohibits the consumption of flesh torn from an animal—but also from consuming any animal whose organs are torn or otherwise damaged. Ultimately this means that the animal that you are eating has been checked and was healthy. Glatt Kosher means that we have followed the most stringent health codes in preparing your meat.
