But you could have before. The star K was only concerned about keilim, not people buying other things. I don't think your reasoning matches what an agency actually said.

That's not a reason to say something isn't kosher, besides for the fact that the Star K never said anything of the sort.

I agree. I also think that's the real intent.

If it is that's ridiculous and not something a kashrus organization should be in the business of doing.

Kashrus is not the primary concern of some kashrus organizations...

The Star K is usually pretty good with these things, I would be a little surprised if that is actually what's going on. I do know some people involved with the Star K so I can try to find out what's actually going on.

I wasn't naming them specifically, it was more of a general statement that may or may not be applicable here. I've seen things in the land of kashrus that don't add up from a halchik standpoint but once you factor in the players or the finances it's clear as day.

Of course, as have I, I'd just be surprised if anything like that is going on here, especially since I don't think there was really any money involved here.

Please ask them how Starbucks could have an issue with cross contamination on plain Brewed coffee, but they have general position that allows that almost anywhere.

Do they have a general position like that? From what I understood, they hold anywhere that makes treif food is a problem

I know many ppl who buy McDonald's black coffee... Happens all the time in rest stops etc. How is it different than a fountain soda? Or is that a problem also?

So rest stop situations are ok

So I guess I can add Starbucks to the list of things that I never got to try.

I don't think much changed for you with this development

If you ever stood and watched how they clean the counters and how they clean the hot steamer which they place into the cups, they use the same rag which they used to wipe the counters which were full of ham and bacon to wipe down the piping hot steamer used to steam the cold milk which eventually became hot. #NeverWasKosher
Funny to see this whole petition, don't know why people thought it was kosher before they lost the semi hechsher they had?
