Looking for kosher dairy/pareve lunch ideas for your child?


Understanding Kosher Categories: Kosher foods are categorized into three groups: meat, dairy, and pareve (also spelled parve). Pareve foods are neutral and can be paired with either meat or dairy dishes.

The school abides by the laws of kashrut. All school functions must be strictly kosher. Food brought to school or school-related events must be milk- based or pareve and catered by or purchased from a business with recognized kashrut agency supervision. Lunches brought to school must be pareve or dairy and should be kosher.


Here are some kosher dairy and pareve lunch ideas that are perfect for our nut-free classrooms. Remember to always check packaging for kosher certification and ensure no cross-contamination with meat products.
