Kosher, Kashrus and Hechsherim Master thread

[how]

nothing

I would bring the information back to him for discussion.

that's different

[moko]

IIRC they also give  a hechsher to chometz baked on pesach by non jewish bakery's, I think they might even send in the mashgiach on pesach.

just curious. Is that a surprise to u? Did u think the ou kashers all nabisco, hershey etc. factories after every pesach? After all if they didn't give hashgacha the plant could do what ever they wanted.

A plant that is not changing the recipe and the hashgacho only show up once in a while anyway is different than a mom and pop bakery that the mashgiach usually stops in once a day

1. how do u know they're not changing the recipe, if u don't give hashgacha there? 2.the ou also gives hashgacha to mom and pop plants which change ingredients to save money

1. ask that question to the ou. they dont send a mashgiach to every plant every day
2. so back to my original comment - yes it was news to me that mashgichim go check out chometz est. on pesach

1. it's called יוצא ונכנס

[how]

exactly! and it does not have to be  exactly נכנס on pesach

[hocker]

If the goy knows you definitely won't come in on Pesach, you would have to actually come.

[itsyehuda]

Why would you davka avoid going there on Pesach?

[yuneeq]

Thats why there are no mehadrin food store in Ben Gurion airport.

But technically when your trying to certify kosher food where do you draw the line? If the waitress are dressed inappropriate is that a hashgacha issue? If the place is a hangout, has bad music, is that a reason to pull the hechsher? Unless the place is making chometz on pesach the food is technically kosher even if they are open on shabbos. So unless there are better options available some out of town Hashgachos feel its better to have kosher food available to the general public then to be machmir on other principles.

The shomer shabbos customers on the other hand should definitely be looking for shomer shabbos establishments with tznius waiterss etc to buy their food.

Actually there are a couple mehadrin restaurants at Ben gurion.
And to the question of where to draw the line with other halachik infractions- some reputable hechsherim may vary from others, but one thing is agreed upon by all: There is a line. No one would give a hecsher to food in a strip club no matter their clientele. I would guess that some of these phony hechsherim would.

In regards to a Jewish store staying open on shabbos, IINM both the food prepared on shabbos and the pots used to cook the food would be assur, whether or not the food was made by a Jew.

If the goy assumes that the yid has a holiday and therefore he won't be coming then you lose the Yotze Vnichnas

So you agree with me

[elikay]

the cRc in Chicago also gives hashgacha to place(s) open on shabbos. (DD) the mashgiach does go in on shabbos fwiu

As does the Star-k (college cafeteria) Mashgiach walks in (sometimes?).

[PlatinumGuy]

pizza hut is beis Yosef.

[Galitzyaner]

That's one.  Mehadrin?

[PlatinumGuy]

I think beis Yosef is considered Mehadrin.

There's also a meat place under beit yosef and a dairy place across from it that has a reliable hechsher but I don't remember which.

In the future, if your so desperate, you can please use the search feature.

Hey sir, what makes you think I'm desperate?  Do I sound hungry to you?
Search shmearch, this topic has been rehashed too many a time and I've yet to see here a final answer to put this question to rest.  You seemed so confident that there are a "couple" of them (only 2?), while previously others here have written that there are none(!).
