That's not true. Meat certified by all reputable Kosher agencies in the US is slaughtered according to Jewish tradition. That's part of why it's so expensive.
- dogma1138 11y agoNot exactly, believe it or not it takes a sampled approach for most things. Even Glatt Kosher might not have inspection for every animal slaughtered. Many modern slaughtering techniques are compatible with Jewish slaughter requirements, the added costs are because the animals have to be inspected for certain defects/conditions before and after the slaughter. You are not going to inverse and inflate the lungs of every cow to check them for lesions even for Kosher beef. Beyond that it's just the question of how the meat is processed after slaughter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shechita#Bedikah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shechita#Bedikah
