Although a store bought bread brand may not have a Kosher Symbol, it still may be clean.
Why? First, it has to do with the Rabbinical teaching of not eating meat and dairy at the same time. We are not following the Rabbi’s and Rabbinical Judaism.
We are following Yehovah and His Commandments.
Some bread contains dairy, so since you might eat meat at the same meal as bread, the Rabbi’s prohibit bread having dairy. They are concerned that someone might accidentally eat bread with dairy and also eat meat at the same meal.
If you see a Kosher Symbol on bread, you may also see the word Pareve. This word means that the food is prepared without meat and milk.
“And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.”Genesis 8:18
The Father of our Faith, Abraham, when he was visited by Yehovah, made a feast with meat and dairy and they did eat. If it was good enough for The Father, it’s good enough for us!
So, if you eat clean, but not kosher, you still may be able to eat some store bought breads if they do not have a Kosher symbol.
However, there are some ingredient in store bought breads that are not clean.
These can include: Enzymes, such as Alpha-Amylase from hog pancreas , L-cysteine, from duck feather, hog hair, hooves, horns or human hair, or mono and diglycerides, which can come from pork fat.
If the bread contains mono and diglycerides, but has a Kosher symbol, means that they are not from a pork source.
Some store bought bread isn’t healthy even if it’s clean and kosher. A great alternative is to make your own homemade sourdough bread. See our recipe here.
Many store bought, processed, and packaged foods contain additives and ingredients that can be unclean. They often times are listed on the label as those words you aren’t sure how to pronounce and have no idea what they are.
“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11
The Enemy is crafty and we aren’t to be ignorant of his schemes.

Our family had thought we were eating clean for a couple years. Then we learned that pork, shellfish, and other unclean animals are hidden in different kinds of foods and supplements.
Here we’ll discuss what we learned about cheese, but first we’ll discuss why we eat dairy and meat together i.e. cheeseburgers, lasagna, etc.
“Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.” Ex.34:26
Jewish Rabbi’s say that this scripture means that you cannot eat meat and milk together. That is not what Yehovah is saying here.
Some cheese is not labeled “kosher”, for this reason.
He is telling us not to cook a kid (kid, lamb,or calf) in their mother’s milk, because the milk from their mother is what would give them life. It’s not that we can’t eat these two things together, but that it is cruel to cook a kid in what would be it’s life source, and Yehovah say’s not to do it. It is that simple.
“And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.” Genesis 18:8
We can see where Abraham, the Father of our Faith, when he was visited by Yehovah, fed him both milk and meat at the same meal.
Although we eat milk and meat together, we are not going to invite someone over for supper who doesn’t and make them a cheeseburger. Then argue with them about why they won’t eat it. Because Scripture says:
But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Messiah Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 1 Corinthains 8:12-13
OUR PRINTABLE PDF CHEESE LIST
This two page list will help you when you are grocery shopping. You can print if off to take it with you to the store. If a cheese is on our list, it is clean, kosher, or both.
There are some companies that use pork rennet as their enzymes, which would make them unclean. While other companies use lamb or calf rennet, so those cheeses would be clean,although not be labeled as kosher.
What is rennet? Rennet is the enzyme used to coagulate the milk (separate the curd from the whey), in order to make cheese from the curds. There are different kinds of rennet, some are animal derived and others are microbial-based (derived from mushrooms, mold or yeast).
Some companies use animal based enzymes and others microbial or vegetable based enzymes.
The link below is to a website that lists vegetarian cheeses, which would make them clean.
A lot of folks take vitamins, minerals, and other supplements.
If you are seeking to obey the Father and eat clean, this is an area where you may be getting some unclean items you don’t realize.
What to look for:
Gelatin Capsules: This can be animal or vegetable derived. If it is not specified on the label, gelatin is most of the time, pork. If it is not pork, they will usually specify. Key words you’ll want to look for on the label are: Veg Caps, Suitable for Vegetarians, Vegetable Cellulose, Beef or Bovine Gelatin Caps.
At the top of this page, you’ll see the “Star K” symbol it confirms kosher gelatin whether clean animal or veg derived.
Tablets and Additions to Capsules:
Stearic Acid, SA, is found naturally in animal fat, especially pork fat, and also certain plants that contain fat/oil. These sources are heated and pressurized in order to isolate and remove stearic acid.
It can also be derived from Coconut and Palm Kernel Oil and Cocoa Butter.
Unless the product is marked kosher, it may not be clean. The word stear is from the Greek meaning “tallow’.
Magnesium Stearate, is a combination of Magnesium and Stearic Acid. It is often derived from Palm Oil, but again if it’s not marked kosher or vegetarian, it could be pork derived.
Calcium Stearate, is a combination of Calcium and Stearic Acid. Again, a combination, so unless specified kosher or vegetarian, it may be unclean.
Liquid Supplements:
Glycerin, is commonly derived from animal fat. There are also plant based glycerin. Unless specified on the label or labeled vegetarian or kosher, it may be unclean.
OtherAdditives and Enyzmes:
Carmine is an unclean bug that is used to make red coloring such as Red 4 and Red 40
Lipase,Digestive Enzyme can be pork derived. They also use lamb, cows, and goats. Look for Kosher symbol or vegetarian.
PepsinDigestive Enzyme, can be pork derived. They also use lamb, cows and goats. Look for Kosher symbol or vegetarian.

Symptoms: small ‘pimples’ and/or scabs on your goats udder.
Contagious? Yes, can spread to other goats, through teat dips, udder cloths, and dirty hands. Wear gloves when milking and treating infected animals.
Cause: This is a staph infection that occurs when an animal is copper deficient. Prevention is best, and can be done by making sure your animal gets sufficient copper.
Treatment: Hydrogen Peroxide Copper Sulfate (like you use for your swimming pool) ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) Give A&D shot as soon as symptoms occur. Pop pimples (while wearing gloves) when they come to a head. Give Vitamin C orally as well at this time. Make a wash with a cup of hydrogen peroxide, 2 TBSP copper sulfate, and a cup of ACV. Dilute to half with water. Use as a wash at milking time. For us, this treatment cleared the infection inside of 24 hours.
Orf occurs in young kids and lambs. They can also give it to their mothers, if they are nursing.
WARNING: This ailment is zoonotic, meaning it can spread to humans. Always wear gloves when treating affected animals.
Symptoms:
Orf is a herpes linked organism, that shows up as pimples or sores. The sores will be found on the noses and mouth of young lambs/kids and the udders of their mothers.
Cause:
The leading cause is copper deficiency. So, the best prevention, is to see that your animals copper levels are correct. This plays a role in many ailments, including internal parasites.
Treatment:
Of course, give them supplemental copper. No, copper does not kill sheep. They need it, just in smaller amounts. You should keep dolomite on hand in case of a overdose, as dolomite is the antidote to a copper overdose.
Since we had other lambs and kids on the ground at the time, We made sure to up their copper. That way the issue would not occur with the other animals, and it did not spread beyond one lamb and his mother Had we been sure they had gotten their minerals, the problem would not have occurred in the first place.
To clear up the sores, we personally used WD-40 directly on the scabs. They dried and cleared up within a week.
Another treatment we did not personally use, but it said to have worked for others and is more natural:
3 tsp copper sulfate
3 tsp vinegar
mix into a gallon bucket of water, and use as a dip for all affected
Again, prevention is better than a cure! Keep up those minerals for your livestock and yourself!
