Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a novel method for rendering slaughtered poultry (mainly chicken and turkey) kosher following the Jewish Kashrut laws. More particularly, the method concerns the salting and washing processes the slaughtered poultry go through prior to packaging and marketing as Kosher foods. During the novel koshering process the birds are hung on stripes, keeping them from touching and salting each other. The end product of the disclosed method of the current application is a Kosher bird that contains less salt, compared to other traditional standard koshering techniques.
