Does gold leaf need a hashgacha?

CRC Kosher says it does not, but it's the only data point I have. Anyone know if that is an accepted opinion?

עיין when to do a like.

A like doesn't mean that you are going to do the thing that the person posted. For example, if someone posts, "Israel bombs terrorists" and you like it, it doesn't mean that you are now going to bomb them, that you are in the army, that you own bombs, or even that you are Israeli. All it means is that you like that the person posted it or that you agree with him.

Full disclosure, I guess...
1. Never read the CRC guide.
2. Never drank Starbucks coffee in my life.
3. Still will hoard the CRC Starbucks guide because I am a digital hoarder and delete very little.
