He decided that even after we "heard" from OUR Rabanim which hechsherim are ok to eat- not always do they keep to their own written standards unfortunately... So the KFI is there to inform us that/if they are...
Isn't a hechsher that doesn't keep to its standards by definition unreliable?

If the Mahgiach was reliable? 100% I would eat at the WA, which has only a Rabanut, because I was told that the Masgiach is reliable and the ingredients are good.
(Normally I wouldn't touch Rabanut with a 10ft pole)
I think you need to learn more about hechsherim and the food service industry.

I think you need to learn more about yidishkeit in general, and halacha specifically.

I would imagine that would be included in ensuring that the ingredients are good.

I'm not sure why any store wouldnt want to  get a free service that brings in more business.
Unless they have something to hide...

Actually they're starting with places that they have an "in" with. Like places where someone knows the manager.. Etc.

They actually just went to check out lechem basar, and were very pleasantly surprised! Just have to research a few of the products that they use....

The owner of Sheyan Keyara originally had said he was paying for it but it seems like some big guns in America got behind it so the payment was not necessary...

Is KFI looking into these eateries once to certify or are they also following up to make sure the adherence continues?

They plan on sending someone down 1-3 times a week.
