[Avodah] Halachic guidlines for kashrut

[martin brody]

"See the above URL for the rest of these articles.
 From this articles it should be clear why there
are differences between kashrus in the US and
Israel and the rest of the world and why one
should not extrapolate from the standards of one
organization in a given country to the situation in other countries.

Sorry, but I completely disagree with you.
A jar of Polish jam that is kosher in Sainsbury's, Golders Green, is just
as kosher in Trader Joes in Westwood, California.
That there are kashrut agences that have standards that are meta
halachic,(none of the majors permit batel, for example) and differ amongst
themselves in many cases, is irrelevant to the kashrut of a product,
including that lovely vegetable, Brussel sprouts that started this whole
thing off. Don't want to rely on those guidlines? Then don't, but please do
not suggest that the products are not kosher.
Kind regards,
