Of US kashrus, or Israeli?

I'd assume the location in his profile, which has historically been home to the most confusing kashrus scene in the US.

In other israeli kashrus news, theres now a company finaly producing milk under the hasgacha of Rav Landau + two other  "new" hechsherim.
Ignoring the fact that at least one of the other hechsherim (Adas Hachareidim?) has to do with internal EIDA politics (we're in for a wild one in the near future, I beleive)
Rav landuas standards in milk production are widly regarded to be the best in EY

Well, pre ~2017 there was no KVH on there.

What was confusing?

There are other hasgachas besides KVH and R Hamoui?

KVH wasn't always a generally acceptable hashgocha.

And it still sounds like there's drama there:

I have factual knowledge in my town of many people completely disregarding serious Kashrus concerns nad being wilfully ignorant in the name of "it's all politics ".
I agree that unfortunately there is politics in Kashrus and probably know it way better than anyone else on the forums (I'm confident saying that without knowing everyone)
But it's definitely not all politics and many people intentionally remain willfully ignorant.

Do they reject CCPT, Badatz BY and Belz? All of those are known to be non-reliable for dairy.

You can convince yourself that
But the bottom line is that CCPT, Belz and Badatz BY have been proven to not adhere to any standard when it comes to imported dairy.

Rabbanut Mehadrin JLem has not relied on CCPT for a long time and has removed certificatiom when they found a store using them.

The last two barely qualifying as hechshers in the first place.

Do you.mind explication? Because I know many people who rely on IKC because it's just ice cream or vegan (assuming it's not an infested item).

This Shabbos we had quite an experience. Water pressure went at around 11:30 AM, and by 1PM, almost no one in my neighborhood had water. Water came back on at around 10PM. As we drink only bottled water, we had no problem with netilas yadayim when necessary. I brought a bunch of empty bottles down to Rav Berkovits's shul, where in his zechus, the water kept flowing. We had a constant influx of visitors to the shul kitchen to fill bottles... (With the full permission of the Rav and also the one who pays for the water - not us, because we pay a flat rent fee.)
A grizzled Israeli told me that he never had this in the forty years he was in the neighborhood (water gone without advance warning for more than three hours).
Btw, it was HOT HOT in the morning, but for some reason, the heat wave broke at around 11:30AM and it stayed cool until this morning. Hmm...

I wouldn't rely on it for anything that requires hashgacha
