General Kosher Catering FAQs.

What is kosher food?

Kosher food is prepared in accordance with Jewish dietary laws. These laws govern which ingredients may be used, how food is prepared, the separation of meat and dairy, and how the preparation process is supervised.

For clients with strict kosher requirements, rest assured that our preparation and handling standards follow the stringent guidelines of the UOS / Kosher SA.

KosherDelight prepares meals for corporate events, airlines, hospitals and other organisations. Meals can also be packed, sealed and labelled individually when required.

Is KosherDelight certified by the UOS / Kosher SA?

Yes. KosherDelight operates under the supervision of the UOS / Kosher SA.

When required, meals can be individually sealed, labelled and clearly identified for corporate, hospital, airline or institutional use.

Please tell us how the meals will be transported, stored and served when placing your order. This helps us plan the appropriate packaging and labelling from the outset.

What types of kosher meals do you prepare?

Our services accommodate individual orders as well as larger corporate and institutional requirements.

Do you offer meat and pareve meals?

Our menus are primarily meat, also known as fleishig, and pareve.

Limited dairy options may be available by prior arrangement. Please ask about this when making your enquiry so that we can confirm what is available and appropriate for your order.

Can meals be individually sealed and labelled?

Yes. Meals can be individually packed, sealed and labelled when required.

This is particularly useful for airline meals, hospital meals, corporate events and institutional catering, where the integrity of each meal needs to be maintained during transport, storage and service.

Depending on the order, labels may include the meal type, order date, dietary notes and kosher identification.

How much does kosher catering cost?

The cost depends on the number of guests, menu complexity, meal format, packaging, delivery requirements and level of service required.

What is a kosher airline meal?

A kosher airline meal is prepared in accordance with Jewish dietary laws and packaged for transport, storage and service in a way that protects its kosher integrity.

These meals are generally packed and labelled individually so that airline and catering personnel can identify and handle them correctly.

KosherDelight’s meals are prepared under the supervision of the UOS / Kosher SA.

Do you prepare KSML / kosher special meals?

KSML is the airline special-meal code commonly used for a kosher meal. These meals may be requested by passengers through an airline or ordered directly by airlines, travel companies, tour groups and catering departments.

Meals can be individually packed, sealed and labelled to support correct identification and handling.

How much notice do airlines or caterers need to give?

The notice required depends on the number of meals, menu requirements, packaging, delivery arrangements and complexity of the order.

We recommend ordering as early as possible so there is sufficient time for preparation, supervision, sealing, labelling and delivery coordination.

Yes. Hospitals, healthcare facilities and authorised ordering departments can contact us directly to discuss kosher meal supply.

We work with hospital ordering departments to coordinate meal requirements, delivery times, packaging, labelling and any necessary documentation.

For recurring or institutional orders, we can establish clear ordering procedures, cut-off times, delivery points and communication channels. This supports dependable delivery and helps meals reach patients as freshly as possible.

Are hospital meals individually packed and labelled?

Yes. Hospital meals can be packed individually, sealed and labelled according to the confirmed order requirements.

This is particularly important in hospitals, where a meal may pass through several departments or staff members before reaching the patient. Clear packaging and labelling help preserve kosher integrity and ensure that the correct meal reaches the intended recipient.

Can you accommodate special dietary requirements for hospital patients?

Yes. Our chefs have worked directly with hospitals to accommodate special dietary requirements, including reduced-salt, diabetic-friendly and vegetarian meals.

We have a set menu specifically developed for these dietary categories. The available options can be requested using our hospital menu order form.

Any patient-specific medical or therapeutic requirements should be provided by the hospital or relevant healthcare professional when the order is placed. This allows our team to prepare the appropriate meal while maintaining the required kosher standards.

How do hospital meal orders work?

The process begins by confirming the patient or institution’s requirements, number of meals, meal type, delivery location, delivery time, labelling instructions and any authorised dietary notes.

Once the details and availability have been confirmed, we prepare, pack, label and deliver the meals as agreed.

For recurring orders, we can arrange a consistent ordering and delivery process with the relevant hospital department.
