The Talmud and Shulkhan Arukh have already discussed a situation almost identical to the one you have written about, but their conclusion was not in line with yours. At all. <br /><br />You're using one source, in one country, on one type food, to tarnish a whole genre of food (vegetarian). This sort of evidence would not hold any clout in a serious scientific analysis. <br /><br />According to your same theory, I should give up on Hecsher foods because there have been times that Hecsher foods have been found to include non kosher ingredients - due to malpractice. This is madness, and quite unbecoming of somebody responsible for Jewish education. You cannot smear government food regulatory affairs because a study was done on sausages. You've heard of a bad apple and are advising people not to eat apples. <br /><br />Halakha is not based on malpractice or misconduct. Shulkhan arukh , Mishneh Torah, and mishna berurah all qualify this. With regards to food, we must assume the positive. <br /><br />" Suitable for vegetarian " accreditation on foods is arguably stricter than kosher accreditation. Have you ever visited factories with vegetarian accreditation? I didn't think so. <br /><br />With the platform you have, and the large following you may have, one must be very careful smearing. <br /><br />Shavuatov Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
