you need to find out establishment by establishment. You can tell somewhat based on who signs the approval.

Friend of mine. Happened to him last year.

The fact that Noahs Ark on Grand St closed in 2013 should've been a dead giveaway.

More than likely his company paid for it.

It actually happened in January 2013, not last year.

CRC told me that its a product by product basis and they dont have any info on the product in question, which is a tube of tomato paste from trader joe's

I just found out, didn't realize when it happened.

Yep. Tried finding a link, best I found was a Google link for Great Kosher Restaurants that listed OU on Google, but once you clicked the link, the site said R' Marmorstein.

This seems like a goof topic for a wiki. IT would be good to have a list of all the reliable hechsherim.

Oh wait. The wiki already lists the hechsherim that everyone agrees are good.

Thanks, I already explained that I spoke with the CRC. Since this is a foreign hashgacha I was hoping that someone would have more info for me.

Didn't mean to quote you or look like I was answering you. Was just a general comment

Is anyone familiar with Chsam Sofer heksher in Israel? As I understand it used to be a very good heksher, but then it changed somehow, correct?

one has round design , and one has a ancient wall background.
one of these is considered very reliable.

There is chasam sofer petach tikva and chasam sofer bnei brak. Petach tikva is supposed to be the better hechsher
