Kashrus of Chabad Shluchim

[ExGingi]

Interestingly, there are several Chabad hashgachos listed here:

What do they do differently?

While I see several Chabad Rabbonim, I only see Chabad mentioned in the symbol on Bahamas and Puerto Rico.

AFAIK Chabad should not be mentioned, so I'd be extra careful with those that do.

Differently than?

Shluchim that aren't listed

Why shouldn't Chabad be mentioned?

Why shouldn't Chabad be mentioned?

Because Chabad isn't supposed to give Hechsherim (under Chabad name, possibly except for when there's an established local BD Chabad).

Encourage Jews to keep kosher to the best standard you can get them to keep, but keep Chabad name out of the Kashrus business.

Shluchim that aren't listed

Many shluchim get additional income as mashgichim in factories for national (or Heimishe) hashgochos. Giving their own Hechsher is a totally different issue. IF they are qualified, they might do it not under the Chabad name. For example see Nemes from Louisiana, even though cRc has him listed as Chabad, the Hechsher doesn't mention it or present itself as such.

The way I read it (as someone who doesn't know Chabad policies) is that CRC looked into these specific shluchim (not sure why they on the CRC radar) and they are testifying that they are up to CRC standards. If I would go to the Bahamas I would have no problem eating at the restaurant based on this.

Not sure what's complicated. These shluchim offer commercial hashgocha, most don't.

Then why does CRC list it?

Which of those have their own "establishment"

[moko]

Answer from a shliach operating a self certified restaurant in response to the question if  he follows the generally accepted guidelines/method of national agencies (including ok & CHK) for checking produce.... "You think I'm a baal tshuva?"

All those restaurants in Baha Mar  aren't theirs?

No.

Interesting. Speaking to people who were there, they integrate pretty seamlessly.
