R Jachter may call the logic of RYBS's heter (as reported indirectly)
"impeccable", but I don't see it at all.  He earlier reports RHS as
saying that the sign must be a "dead giveaway"; I don't see how any
mark on the bag the bread came in could qualify for that, and I certainly
don't see how one can derive such a heter from the ChA or the AhS.
(BTW, R Jachter cites the relevant AhS as 97:8, but it's actually 97:9;
in both se'ifim, though, he's talking about unmistakable simanim in the
bread itself, not on external packaging.)
