[Avodah] bittul

[Rich, Joel]

R' Reisman discussed this a few weeks ago during his navi shiur.  He
said that there was a machlokes, with the Pischei Teshuvah holding that
if one wishes to be machmir, it is commendable, and the Toras H'Asham
holding that if someone is machmir in a situation where there is no
machlokes about whether it is permissible to eat or not, it is apikorsus
to be machmir.

R' Reisman then quoted the Bnei Yissaschar (regarding the situation of a
piece of treif meat that falls into a pot with sixty kosher pieces of
meat) that the piece of treif meat had a "nitzutz kedusha" in it and it
was meant to be eaten - and it is a mitzva to davka eat that piece of
meat (with the rest of the meat).

R' Reisman mentioned that, while there is an inyan not to eat a piece of
food about which a shaila was asked, that is only when there is a
machlokes about the permissibility of the food - not in the situation
above where the halacha is 100% clear and unequivocal that a piece of
treif meat that falls into a pot of sixty kosher pieces of meat is
permissible.

 Now if someone could just tell me what it means to be "an inyan", it
would be helpful. Actually the source of this inyan is a gemara, but
iiuc one needs to think about Mar Ukva and why he didn't wait 24 hours
between milk  and meat as his father did.  BTW is it really unequivocal?
What if you could determine by DNA testing which the treif piece is -
would there be "an inyan" to do so?
