3. as I sa...2. so why only "superficial"?<br />3. as I said, they only guarantee their own, but the way it is written it is saying that every other brand with any other logo might have non-kosher oil. that is in a sense defaming all the others. They could have said it differently, stating that they certify pans with no non-kosher oils. everything they certify is only good with a badatz according to them, this does not need to be stated any differently. since it is a translation, and I did not see the original, maybe there was a nuance missed or something. As I said, I get what they mean, just the wording seems poor to me.<br />4. I agree 100%. and as I said, they should say they do not certify a cheese counter with open cheeses, unless they have a teudah saying so. if they do certify the entire counter, and not just individual cheeses, they should be making sure the guy with the knife is using it properly. if they only certify certain cheeses, they should simply say once the package is opened it is no longer under our certification as we do not know what the shopkeeper does with open packages, what knives he uses, etc. JKN has gone to great lengths to relate to the public many times the messages from the Badatz that once a seal is broken, it is no longer certified, and dont bother asking us any more about it. why here are they giving instructions abut stuff that is no longer under their certification because it has been opened?Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-61220005170062623952012-04-22T17:32:47.271+03:002012-04-22T17:32:47.271+03:001) No comment.
2) I think that's a fair "...1) No comment.<br />2) I think that's a fair "hiddur"... or to be more exact, it's a "prishus", since by definition "hiddurim" apply to mitzvos asei, while "prishuyos" apply to mitzvos lo taaseh. A hiddur/prishus is by definition going beyond the letter of the law, so I don't see why you think that's odd...?<br />3) Sure they only guarantee their own stuff - why would they certify stuff that's certified by a different authority? No issue with that. <br />4) My wife recently witnessed, in an outlet of one of the major supermarket chains, the woman at the deli counter couldn't find the knife to slice the cold cuts - so she went over to the milk side of the counter and "borrowed" the milk knife for this purpose. My wife reported it to management, who were duly horrified and took immediate action - but lesson learned: the deli counter of <b>any</b> supermarket is only as kosher as the people who work behind it.Shaul Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13657787388625188732noreply@blogger.com
