If I remember correctly, food can't be kosher if prepared by gentiles (non-jews). Could someone with proper knowledge confirm this?

- Frozenlock 10y agoThanks! So, it appears that whine can't be made by gentiles. In addition, prepared food must also at least be made in part by a Jew. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishul_Yisrael https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishul_Yisrael Surely this clashes with anti-racism laws in some countries, doesn't it? (Imagine food that couldn't be prepared by black people, or that would require a white man somewhere in the preparation.) Is there some special alternate rule for these cases?
- benjohnson 10y agoAs I understand it - wine can't touch gentile hands and still be kosher. The bottle must be opened and served by a Jew.
