Kosher, Kashrus and Hechsherim Master thread

[Essen est zich]

Look, the question was asked. Peru K is not recommended hechser. Artichokes (not artichoke hearts) themselves are almost always infested therefore no national hechshers certify them. You are welcome to reach out to your LOR to get personal guidance.



There is plenty information online why artichokes are not recommended.

Who is he?

It's not the Rabbi Abadi you think he is.

Also, some of the pesakim on there are more horrifying. Like the Mikva ones.

Isn't that rabbi Yitzchok Abadi?

Sorry, fixed my typo now. 🙈

That website is run by Harav Yitzchok's son, Aaron, ostensibly based on his fathers pesakim. There is another website where other family members are also involved (R. Chaim and others) and it is far more nuanced.

Maybe check out that website a bit more before you call him a rabbi..........Unless tevilas noshim in a jacuzi with a bathing suit is considered by you to be a psak from a rabbi

How about the restaurants serving artichoke dishes, are those problematic?

You need to ask their rav hamachshir.

I'm not a expert (and I have no idea what a artichoke dish looks like) but if they are using artichoke bottoms, some hechsherim allow it with certain checking procedures.

There used to be Elite gum with hechsher from the eida. Since the Strauss salmonella outbreak this is no longer available. Anyone have any idea if its possible to get gum with Eida or another A++ Hechsher?

There is gum with Eida  iirc  (sharei revacha always has it.) nothing good quality like Elite was...My family has so far survived without gum the past couple of years but we wish it would change

They probably sell it in heimish stores. I think the brand is Oppenheimer.  Its nothing like Elite.

+1. Nobody can do a special run with a top hechsher??

There isn't any sold here, besides for one colorful candy which is just a pack of colorful junk.
