So in regards to Christian and Jewish meat we have covered this below with information from Quran and Hadith to help you understand better.
“And do not eat that on which Allah’s name has not been mentioned.” (Surah Al An’am 6:121)
Whether or not animals slaughtered by present day Jews and Christians are Halal (permissable) or Haram (impermissible) is an issue that is differed about. The safer Fatwa (verdict) is that it is Haram if unnecessary. (Majma’-ul-Anhur)
Important Note:
The Jews and Christians of our time explicitly express their belief that Sayyiduna Isa and Sayyiduna Uzair عليه السلام were sons of God (Allah تعالی forbid). It is clearly established that there is no dire need to consume meat slaughtered by them. Thus it is necessary to excercise caution (Al Ihtiyat) because there is a difference of opinion between the Scholars in relation to the permissibility of the meat of animals which sacrificed by the present day Jews and Christians. Holding onto the position that it is impermissble is more preffered when there is no necessity (Dharurah). This is what is stated in Majma’ul-Anhur.

We pray that we were able to answer your question on the topic of Christian and Jewish meat.
In regards to Kosher meat, some background information here.
For food to be kosher, animals have to be killed individually by a specially trained Jew known as a shochet. Another trained expert then inspects the carcasses for signs of disease. But these steps have no real effect on food safety. The meat then has to be salted to draw out and remove any blood.
Kosher rules as follows:
- Land animals must have cloven (split) hooves and must chew the cud, meaning that they must eat grass.
- Seafood must have fins and scales. …
- It is forbidden to eat birds of prey. …
- Meat and dairy cannot be eaten together, as it says in the Torah : do not boil a kid in its mother’s milk (Exodus 23:19) .
