"To my recollection, the European model never says "That's okay because the
poskim allow it b'dieved". What they say is "We're not supervising it, so we
can't guarantee that it's not happening, and if there was good evidence that
it *was* happening then we would stop relying on it, but since it seems to
be not happening, and even if it WAS happening it would be okay b'dieved,
THAT's why we rely on it."

Can someone corroborate or correct my previous paragraph?

Akiva Miller"

It's not the European model. It's the laws of kashrut from the
Gemara,Shulkan Aruch, Rishonim, Achronim and contemporary poskim. They
followed those laws in Babylon, North Africa, India Northern Europe, Eastern
Europe, Southern europe, Western Europe, everywhere in fact including, North
America.......until about 30 years ago or less.
