No big chidush. What you're saying is that a hashgacha can't rely on b'dieveds as a normal operating procedure. That's pretty much the same thing as when we were labeling them as the "American model" which is actual supervision, and the "European model" which (to grossly oversimplify) relies on *possible* b'dieveds.

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?
