                                According to a 2020 report from Kosher Network International, over a third of consumers who purchase kosher products do so for reasons unrelated to religious observance, including perceived quality and safety. A bakery earns its kosher status by adhering to the comprehensive set of Jewish dietary laws known as *kashrut*, which governs everything from ingredients to the preparation process.
