[Avodah] Chalav Yisrael - Donkey Milk - its for donkeys - Halachic sources

[Rabbi Meir G. Rabi]

 I apologise for not providing sources for my earlier post

RaMBaM MAssuros
after ruling that foods produced by non-K animal species or Tereifah K
species, are not K, Min HaTorah
3:12
 - milk from non-K species does not congeal [produce cheese]
and if a mixture of milk from K and non-K animals is used to make cheese
the curds form exclusively from the Kosher milk
all the non-K milk drains off with the whey
3:13
 - therefore [Yitten HaDin=it makes sense? It seems the RaMBaM uses this
expression but once in MTorah] *all* milk in the possession of a gy is
prohibited as he may have adulterated it with non-K milk
however the gys cheese is permitted since non-K milk will not produce cheese

It is clear this gys cheese is Kosher in spite of being made with animal
rennet
as the gy has not contacted the OU to get rennet with a Hechsher.
nor has he employed a Mashgiach supervisor to ensure and verify he has not
used non-K rennet
and yet it is Kosher LeMeHadRin.

It is astonishing to observe the contortions of those who feel challenged by
these simple truths.

So there we have it - Chazal did-not/could-not include in the Ch Yisrael
decree a ban on cheese manufactured by the gy dairy farmer - because
everyone knows that even if the gy uses a mixture of K and non-K milks, the
cheese making process filters out all the non-K milk.

In other words there is no need and there was therefore no decree ever made
that required cheese be made from ChYisrael. The Halacha has not changed,
cheese just like butter and yoghurt [RaMBaM MAssuros 3:15] need not be made
from ChYisrael.

Accordingly, until the cheese decree was enacted, we would pop over to
Xtopher to monitor our pint of milk and then, on the way out, we would
purchase a pound of his cheese.
