Advertising standards laws in many{{quantify|date=August 2014}} jurisdictions prohibit the use of the phrase ''kosher'' in a product's labeling unless the producer can show that the product conforms to Jewish dietary laws; however, different jurisdictions often define the legal qualifications for conforming to Jewish dietary laws differently. For example, in some places the law may require that a rabbi certify the ''kashrut'' nature, in others the rules of ''kosher'' are fully defined in law, and in others still it is sufficient that the manufacturer only believes that the product complies with Jewish dietary regulations. In several cases, laws restricting the use of the term ''kosher'' have later been determined to be illegal religious interference.<ref>{{cite web|last=Popovsky|first=Mark|title=The Constitutional Complexity of Kosher Food Laws|url=http://www.columbia.edu/cu/jlsp/pdf/Fall%202010/Popovsky.JLSP.44.1.pdf|publisher=[[Columbia University]]|access-date=March 15, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130922093707/http://www.columbia.edu/cu/jlsp/pdf/Fall%202010/Popovsky.JLSP.44.1.pdf|archive-date=September 22, 2013}}</ref>
