Problem with retail pack, is the packing equipment.

Out of interest, can you please expand on the kashrus implications of different packagings. In a general sense.

I see none of their marketing mention throat, does it soothe the throat like ricola in your experience?

Does the seaweed stuff that's used in sushi (I think it's called Nori) usually have bugs in it? If yes how is it checked?

Figured Id move this here for the sake of discussion:
does this have two seals?
(Personally, I think it does but if you ask OU you'll get an explanation why it doesn't require two. Something about a very strong choisem.....)


The Salami sandwiches they were serving were in a plastic box with a plastic snap on lid, they were not attached in any permanent way. There was than a separate sticker on top with the hashgocha logo on it (Iirc it was rabunut madrid). @moko is there any way that is considered 2 seals? If the hashgocha sticker was connecting the lid and container would that have then constituted 2 seals? What if the lid could have just as easily been open from the other side where there was no hashgocho tape?
