Ritual slaughter is known as shechitah, and the person who performs the slaughter is called a "shochet," both from the Hebrew root Shin-Chet-Tav, meaning to destroy or kill. “Kosher” is the definition given to foods prepared in accordance with Jewish Law as relating to foodstuffs.
The shochet is not simply a butcher; he must be a pious man, well-trained in Jewish law, particularly as it relates to kashrut.
The Torah requires that beef cattle and chickens be slaughtered in accordance with these laws, in a ritual called Shechita.
The method of slaughter is a quick, deep stroke across the throat with a perfectly sharp blade with no nicks or unevenness. This method is painless, causes unconsciousness within two seconds, and is widely recognized as the most humane method of slaughter possible.
The aim of the ritual is to slit the throat of the animal while still alive, and so provoke instantaneous and painless death. The cut must be made with a specially sharpened knife and sever the trachea, the esophagus and the principal veins and arteries of the neck, so provoking massive bleeding. After slaughter, an inspector verifies the internal organs of the animal to spot any signs of physiological abnormality that would render the meat non-Kosher.
These days the entire Kosher process, including salting, is carried out in the meat packer’s establishment under the supervision of a rabbi, who guarantees that the food is Kosher. Products also carry a seal certifying that the entire process for production of the foodstuff was in compliance with the Torah.
