[Avodah] Kosher

[Gershon Dubin]

<<Equipment is aino ben yomo. Besides, when factories cross produce, they
sterilize equipment between usage>>

Definitely not true.    And there's the little matter of not being
allowed to use a keli eino ben yomo lechatchila.             

<<And see Rav Moshe YD 1, 55. He trusts the ingredient list.>>

Not the ingredient list;  a letter specifying the origin of one item. 
And while you're being somech on Rav Moshe, don't forget his teshuva
saying that relying on eino ben yomo lechatchila for a hashgacha is
"mechu'ar hadavar".

<<So what? Can you taste it? >>

As far as I know, Ashkenazim don't depend on taste, but on bitul.  Do you
know the proportions?

<<Bishul Akum from factories is not an issue according to many
opinions.>>

This is a daas yachid; I have never heard of anyone being somech on it
halacha lema'aseh.
