[Avodah] Canned vegetables

[Arie Folger]

First of all, yes, London Beth Din is an important, trustworthy
institution. Never did I imply otherwise in my posts. Now about the
cans. Cans produced in Switzerland are problematic, because there are
few canneries, and there is thus a chashash everywhere. Not so in much
kasher neighboring France.

By the way, LBD's statement, which you take to permit all canned
vegetables, is not as widely applicable as you think. I challenge you
to find cans canned in Switzerland on sale in the UK. The market is
more local than that. (The opposite, UK cans in Switzerland, is
possible, though not very likely, but you will see, for example,
Kellogg's cereal coming from one of the large European factories, so I
don't mean to imply that food doesn't cross borders in final
packaging.)


Good Shabbos,
