In her new life as an Orthodox Jew, Sarah Mintz - formerly known as Maritza Rodríguez - can only eat kosher food, this is the food allowed under Jewish law.

"I don't get kosher food in any restaurant or anything, so when I take these walks or go on a trip, I have to bring the food so that we can eat," confessed the retired Colombian actress in a recent video she shared on her YouTube channel..

But what can and what can not eat now the villain of successful soap operas such as Cornered, The face of Analía and Husband for rent?

As far as mammalian animals are concerned, Sarah can only feed on the meat of ruminants that have a split hoof, such as a cow.

The rabbit, for example, which does not have a split hoof, or the pig, which only has one stomach, cannot eat them.

The withdrawn actress cannot feed on shellfish either, since when it comes to marine animals, Jewish law only allows those with fins and scales to eat.

However, it does not only matter that the animal itself is kosher as it also influences the way the food was prepared and even the way the animal died.

According to an extensive report prepared by the newspaper La Razón in 2018 about kosher food, there are a series of rules that must be followed to know if the final product is kosher, including that the animal from which the meat is taken is not sick nor has it had a violent death, nor is it allowed to eat certain parts of the animal, such as the liver.

Another very strong prohibition within Jewish law is to mix milk and meat, so that a cheeseburger, which is a derivative of milk, for example, would not be allowed.
