Religious food laws
To be blasphemous for a second, if my hypothesis is correct, will we all be worshiping the BRC in years to come???
Ok - my partner thinks I'm a bit crazy but I was thinking about food laws, e.g. kosher, halal etc and was wondering whether they were originally devised as ways to keep food safe. For example, Jewish people are not allowed to eat fish which don't have scales and fins. In the middle east, there are red tides which make shellfish toxic and keeping shellfish safe without refridgeration would have been impossible.

Food for thought eh?
i know that indians only eat with their right hand as the left hand is "unclean"
it is an interesting subject, and one we should become more aware of as we employ multi nationals.
the english are currently eating humble pie GMO....after doing so well in the rugby

From my very limited knowledge I think they are or at least parts of them are.Ok - my partner thinks I'm a bit crazy but I was thinking about food laws, e.g. kosher, halal etc and was wondering whether they were originally devised as ways to keep food safe.

So what is your question or point GMO (you muppet
So you could soon be worshiping BRC/ISO 22000/Halal at one go instead and you would need to have at the minimum 2 Auditors at any one Audit (the other for the religious compliant).
I've had to have the rabbi in to bless the machines before! It's so bizarre!
So have i! ....... for a nominal fee of course!
Adding this a bit late in the game. But I use to work with a spice company that was Kosher certified. I was chatting to the Rabbi one day about all the rules and it is pretty interesting. In Jewish faith, cracked black peppercorns and various other spices are not allowed during pass over ( could have been the other way round, but cant quite remember) I do however remember that black pepper was a problem. It makes sense that it was a food safety thing, as aflatoxins can occur in high concentrations in pepper and therefore would have been a food safety hazard in absence of testing.
I do believe alot of the laws were for safety side of things that have now become part of religions. Possibly some student should do a thesis on it one day :-)

And perhaps not always wholly relevant in today's world with modern food preservation handling and storage methods.I do believe alot of the laws were for safety side of things that have now become part of religions. Possibly some student should do a thesis on it one day :-)
