Kosher, Kashrus and Hechsherim Master thread

[shulem92]

You can say it’s pareve but should not be eaten with meat.

i don’t see such a disclaimer

A lot of pareve chocolate may be labeled dairy and can work if you aren’t makpid on CS keilim.

[avromie7]

And the reasoning being? When it's a ben yomoi.

The chumrah of CY is not because there is a tzad CS is not kosher.

[avromie7]

CS keilim means it can't be eaten with meat.

Keep reading you’ll get there

Are there some who are makpid on CS but not to render it נ״ט בנ״ט דאיסורא?

Ah, BTDT. Didn't remember some make a distinction of being machmir on one and not on the other. 

[aygart]

most likely batul isn’t good enough to say for sure it’s pareve. I’m just pointing out that there is practically no such thing as kashering between runs by chocolate. So you are worse off than “regular” CS keilim

There are many who hold that you can kasher it with melted chocolate.

There are many who hold that you can kasher it with melted chocolate.

As pointed out somewhere here, this is just a kula by some European hechsherim. The OU, although they aren't makpid on water davka, but they are against using chocolate as Rav Belsky argued since it can turn into a solid state it may not have a din mashkin.

Fwiw, there is Eida CY dark chocolate labeled Chalavi that has no milk in it. I was told when I asked that

The issue with wine in particular is the new minhag to have as many hechsherim as possible on the back. When I asked someone I trust in the hashgacha world about a certain wine, I was told that if the OU is not the only hechsher on the bottle, I cannot rely on the OU for the hashgacha, and it all depends on the other hechsher. (This was personal advice, not shmearing the OU, cv, AYLOR.) The question is, in a case like the bottle posted above, how is anyone supposed to know which hechsher is being relied upon? Who ultimately takes responsibility for the mashgiach on site? Who is being asked shailos?

How about if the wine only has the OU?

Do they have any kulos that would be concerning?

Ko are gelatin specialists. The kinds not accepted by the larger more mainstream hechsherim (and the majority of today's poskim?)

He's pretty famous for allowing someone to sell his kehuna to enter a cemetery

Friggin ouch.
With all due respect, did he tell you to share that on a forum?

[moko]

no but his hashgacha is literally worthless

[Chilla]

Ouch.
Seeing how deliberate you always are, I accept.
