It depends on how kosher a person is. Some people simply don't mix meat and dairy, and avoid pork and shellfish. Others require the food to be prepared in a certified kosher kitchen using kosher dishes. One of the problems with the smaller food manufacturers is that they use shared kitchens and packaging plants and they can't control what other products were made there.

How would you feel about a certified vegan product made in a purely vegan kitchen, even if it hasn't been inspected by a rabbi?
[/quote] I'm not OP. But I assume that if OP just wanted something vegetarian or vegan, he/she would've said vegetarian or vegan instead of "kosher," especially given that this isn't a Jewish forum. I used to eat that way myself and I always asked for vegetarian options.  But maybe I'm wrong and OP is cool with vegetarian.[/quote]
Since the basis of kosher dietary rules is that meat and dairy cannot be eaten together at the same meal, vegan and vegetarian meals are essentially kosher, although they aren't certified by a rabbi. That is why people are recommending vegan and vegetarian meals. However, in order to be certified kosher, meat and dairy cannot even be prepared in the same kitchen together.

Jewish schools that request students bring kosher meals for lunch usually ask everyone to bring in a meat-free/dairy only meal so the foods are mixing at the lunch table.[/quote]. There is a lot more to kashrut than not mixing meat and dairy. I understand that in practice some people consider vegetarian to be "essentially kosher." But in my experience, people who take that view will generally request vegan or vegetarian options, not specify kosher.

What Jewish schools require varies considerably and the requirements for student lunches are often well below what the school administration actually considers to be kosher.

The question about lunchables led me to believe it might be for lunch at a Jewish preschool. At the Jewish preschool my kid attends the lunch must be meat free. But anyway OP will have to come back and tell us![/quote]
