They're relying on two princples in combination, two forms of bitul --
rov unknown ingedients aren't a problem, and bitul betaaroves. Yes,
either alone is sufficient, but lemaaseh they won't approve a product
without the combination.

And thus RnCL's and my discussion about whether they are the same thing,
and if not whether bitul berov in the case of safeiq is weaker, really
has nothing to do with the original topic. The original topic was a case
of using both.

Tir'u baTov!
