Not saying that it would make a difference halachically, but I heard an unverified rumor that in light of the concerns people are having with the milk being switched, the 10 locations only use CY milk. Anyone else hear this?
the VIN article/chof-k statement says that.
thing is, while it's definitely a major improvement practically, and
lowers the possibility of messing up, there still is the
possibility of bringing in from outside. after all, what is the procedure if they run out? is there a manager who has the authority to send someone out with a company CC to the grocery for a few bottles? will they know which store to find CY in?
(in the case of EP/Bedford it's about a mile to the closest CY store, and that not the brand they're using)
[wasn't there once an incident in a 'CY' Coffee Bean where a manager was restocking at ralph's ?]
back to the point: even if the exchange is unlikely, the above
shitos mean that, the fact that a
possibility exists,even somewhat remote, places this bottle in non-חותם status.
relying on the 'odds' against it is
roughly the same thing הג' רמ"פ does. (with above debate as to whether it's
exactly equivelant, or just roughly)
essentially we turn the 'practical' חשש of חלב טמאה into a 'technical' status of ח"י. which -if your makpid on CY- you do turn it. and this seems to fall a drop short...
