Certifying that a commercial product is Kosher is the duty of Rabbis. A Rabbi, similar to a food inspector, must inspect and declare a facility Kosher. The facility must be blessed by the Rabbi and maintained according to the law. Frequent inspections are required.

GF's friends are part of a family business that produces food flavorings (chemical plant basically). A rabbi comes, checks the place out, blesses it. Then he walks away a little richer.

Ok I Googled it and now I know.

The Jews are not allowed to eat blood. Kosher salt has larger salt cyrstals and absorbs more moisture (blood) than normal table salt. Jews use it to cure meat for eating. That's why it's called Kosher.
 
At the facility I work at, we have a rabbi that comes in to do the same thing. He shows up once a year, checks our documentation on our raw ingredients and processing practices, approves it/blesses it, and makes his money.
 
i always feel funny buying kosher salt...not that i have a problem with jews or anything....its just that buying something for the nontypical reason

like picking up a victoria secret catalogue and taking it the bathroom, everyone looks and thinks you're gonna crank it, but in reality......wait, bad example
 
Usually its non-iodized. I use it to purify %70 Isopropyl alcohol to %99 before I do a vacuum distalltion, because Isopropyl is a useful solvent for reductive amination.

They ban people at the SomethingAwful forums for asking questions that can be answered in a few minutes with a google search. They ban people for quite a lot over there actually...seems draconian, but the forums are well-kept.

Correct. All salt is Kosher, but Kosher salt is used to draw blood out of meat in order to make it Kosher. I guess a more accurate name would be Koshering salt. FWIW, look for turkey or chicken that have been treated in this manner- they're tastier and juicier (basically, they've been brined already).
