How do any of the Kashrus agencies monitor factories on shabbos?

They have walkins

Bens is Kosher but not "Glatt Kosher". I do not know any Frum people that eat there

Stay away from anything certified by this "ruv" Steinberg.
So I was told by head/rabbi of one of the two main UWS hechsherim who certify a lot of Manhattan restaurants.
The Steinberg (Cup K) certified restaurants are IIRC all open on Shabbos! And Bens delicatessen is basically the same idea as Hebrew National... Not somewhere any frum people eat..

You'd probably even trust Rabbi Harry Cohen before Steinberg...

Excuse me. On what basis are you bashing R Stienberg? The fact that it's not glatt doesn't make him into any less of a 'ruv'.

Is there any contradiction between being open on Shabbos and being Kosher?

Coffee beans are kosher yet open on Shabbos.

And no, I don't eat there. But I have no problem with it being open on Shabbos.

How does he do random checks on all the places he "supervises" if they're open on shabbos

Perhaps he has people working for him who libpve nearby? Perhaps he stays nearby I random shabboses.

You dont eat at the Coffee bean and tea leaf in Singapore? It's open on Shabbos. (obviously)

He has issue with you using quotes around the word ruv, not the fact that it might not be a reliable hechsher

there is no contradiction at all, but if I may ask, if it would be glatt would you eat there?

The Coffee Bean has one location in SIN that's kosher. Either way I didn't eat there as it's not C"Y.

The cRc has verified that the only store in Ben Gurion Airport that does not buy or sell any chometz over Pesach
and is properly selling their chometz for 2013 is the James Richardson Store at Gate D7.

There are a couple of Mehadrin restaurants in the airport. Unless they are making serious accusations against at least two different hechsherim, I doubt they are taking restaurants into account.

Correct me if I'm wrong...... I don't think detergent is ra'uy l'achilas kelev. Why would it be an issue?

Word on the Israeli street says:

If one sees the Badatz mehadrin logo and directly next to it (under) one sees the "kosher for Pesach" it is an indication the product is mehadrin non-kitnios kosher.

Alternatively, if one sees the Badatz Mehadrin logo, and ink jet typeset elsewhere on the package, not adjacent to the logo, there is the added wording of "kitnios".

In one case, two products, both a variety of the "Milky" pudding, one with kitnios and one without, both displaying the Badatz Mehadrin logo. Possibly, many/most shoppers will not make the differentiation.

On a connected note, all "Tnuva mehadrin" hashgacha products are kitnios free. An item that is mehadrin year round that is not mehadrin for Pesach will say "regular kosher" to highlight the difference.
