[Avodah] Kashrus KLP; food processing equipment

[Rabbi Meir G. Rabi via Avodah]

Reb Z Sero - Please bring some factual support for the following assertion
- bottling equipment is used for all sorts of things, especially nowadays
when efficiency is key and equipment is never allowed to lie idle.

In my experience and the shared experience of many others, from many parts
of the world, who are engaged in Kashrus - this is a most unlikely
experience.

Even amongst those companies who process and pack for many brand names,
they invariably process and pack a single type and style simply because the
machinery is designed for efficiency, to handle one type and style of food.
Attempting to use the machinery for other purposes requires much adjusting
and fiddling and also presents a risk of damage to the machinery.
Furthermore, every brand will insist and by law must ensure, that their
product is pure and as described. This is all overseen by designated audit
programs such as HACCP. Invariably such cleaning satisfies requirements for
Kashering.

Many years ago there was a short lived trend for dairy companies to also
sell breakfast fruit juices, which some dairies tried unsuccessfully to
pasteurise on their dairy pasteurisers; and there was the attempt to argue
that the fruit juice was Milchig of Ch Akkum.


Best,

Meir G. Rabi
