Kosher is a term that refers to foods that meet the standards of Kashrut, which is the set of Jewish laws that explain what foods can and cannot be eaten. It is not required that a rabbi bless the food to make it kosher, but many processed foods are examined by religious officials to assure consumers that that the foods and their processing meets kosher requirements.
