There is a difference between their having a standard and their feeling that something is assur
yes and no there are somethings that some think are assur and others think or ok, chalav stam for instance.
I get what you are saying but without knowing why the CRC includes or excludes and org from its list Im still going to eat by the VHQ.
its also important to understand that its a list of orgs that the CRC recommends, that doesnt meant that if its not on the list its isnt kosher. I dont recommend that people travel on Spirit Airlines that doesnt mean Spirit wont get you from point A to Point B safe and sound.
PS the cynic in me finds it odd that the gold standard list is made by kashrus org. I doubt that the VHQ compete in anyway, but its hard to be an industry watchdog when you are part of the industry
