I am pretty sure that the poskim do not differentiate as to who owns the chometzThat the din applies for something absorbed by the keilim on pesach is explicit in the poskim

Regarding that there is isur mashehu on chometz of a goy one place it can be seen is 467:8 where it is clear that even a small amount of flour mixed into honey would be a problem.

Regarding mashehu which happened on pesach it is discussed in numerous cases such as where someone finds a kernel in his food over pesach (467:9 for starters) where the all utensils are assur including any other food mixed with the spoon used (see poskim there).

Do you take great interest in reading about the suffering of fellow Jews?

I never said they don't have strong Kashrus standards.

However, even with strong Kashrus standards, FWIU there are always compromises that not everyone would gladly accept if they were fully aware (talk to mashgichim). Especially when it comes to Pesach, while some things might just be "chumros", for someone who follows the Rebbe's directives, there seems to be very strict guidance regarding gebrokts. It is close to impossible to maintain that standard in a hotel where not everyone is aware and cares about it.
+100
IME
1.a hotel that has what I call ongoing "general" kashrus problems has a lousy hashgacha.
2. Many hotels with top tier hashgacha either have chilul Shabbos / YT issues or are soimech on many kulos. (First and foremost using the dishwasher on Shabbos and Yom tov in a situation where it would be impossible to wash by hand for 1000 guests. There are tzdadim lhatir)
3. Almost every hotel is soimech on kulos regarding (even those who say they kasher nothing , end up kashering something) kashering whether they admit it or not.

That's nonsense.
Trustworthy programs like KMR and POTM where I was this year advertise luxury and have strong kashrus standards.

POTM is run by a shliach at a Four Seasons and all of the Rabonim and mashgichim ate the program's regular food as well.

What boggles my mind is why anyone would have signed up to attend a Prime program or any program that is run by a sheister...
pretty sure the Werner family doesn't eat the food from thier Pesach program. They bring their own food

There's a period between the 2nd sentence and the 3rd sentence.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Haven't checked the source you quoted, but are you sure it's not referring to a case that it was found on pesach but was there before vs what I understood in the story above that the goy used it on pesach

Probably easy enough to find out by asking them. Though I think when it comes to R' Simcha Werner, one could be safe to make such an assumption (does he even go to any of these?).

I'd love to understand that. They're hosting a program and allegedly serving food to hundreds of yidden on pesach that they would not allow at their own table?
Mashgichim is different, but hosts?

Not everybody holds people to their standards. Some people hold of chumros that they know other don't hold of.

Its very simple. If he has higher than your standards why shouldn't he serve you your standards ? If I'm makpid on a certain shechita that's more expensive why shouldn't I serve you whatever shechita you're ok with ?

he most definitely does. To their credit they use pretty good hashgacha for all thier programs. (Interestingly enough though, a different one for almost every program- pesach is the only one when they have a formal hashgacha) date I say the hashgacha on the program is far superior to the hashgacha on the caterer.

Yes he goes. No, they don't eat the food.

They probably wouldn't eat in anyone's private home,  which is a widely observed custom in Lubavitch. As much as they are "hosts" - they are not running the kitchen according to their personal standards.

My in laws don't eat avocados - not just on matza, they don't eat avocados at all. At my home, we smear avocado on matza. My father doesn't have sugar, even boiled. My father in law does.

Yes, if I happen to have something non cholov yisroel I would. But I'm not Lubavitch, and actually grew up in a non cholov yisroel home, which makes me a bit of a different case. To me, it's merely a chumrah that I keep while others don't.
