At home, I have a jar of Pereg oregano that says "glatt kosher" and parve. Am I missing something? I thought "glatt" applies only to meat. If so, how can something be both fleishig and parve at the same time? Similarly, I've seen a store called "glatt farm". the store sells only produce. Does fruit have to be "glatt kosher"?

If it had bumps, they'd tell you you couldn't check it for bugs. :)– Double AA ♦May 7, 2014 at 21:27

LOL! Etrogim have bumps and it's a fruit. Do they inspect them for bugs?– DanFMay 7, 2014 at 21:32

If you don't eat the skin, I don't think you need to check. CYLOR.– YpnypnMay 7, 2014 at 21:33

I saw a container of quinoa labeled whole grain. It just goes with the consumer ignorance rather than fighting it. Same here. People know they are supposed to prefer Glatt, without knowing why.– YishaiMay 7, 2014 at 21:56

Glatt meat means that the animal's lungs are completely smooth. The word "glatt" can not apply to produce, fish, poultry, and so on. (MyJewishLearning)
However, "in some instances it may be intended to imply that the product was processed under a superior hashgachah, as per the term's informal usage." (Kashrut.com)
