Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Observant Jews will eat only meat or poultry that is certified kosher.
Detailed explanation-2: -The word treif is a Yiddish word that refers to any food that is deemed unkosher (i.e. forbidden under Jewish law). The word is derived from the Hebrew word treifah (or terefah) which means something that is torn or mangled.
Detailed explanation-3: -Kosher meat comes from animals that have split hooves–like cows, sheep, and goats–and chew their cud. When these types of animals eat, partially digested food (cud) returns from the stomach for them to chew again. Pigs, for example, have split hooves, but they don’t chew their cud. So pork isn’t kosher.
