<DIV>,,,"However, a number of cereals and other products enjoy the trust of the
Orthodox community. This is no accident. Some reliable kashrus experts have
examined these products and found them to be acceptable. "This question was
raised recently by a well-known authority on kashrus. Those kashrus
organizations who investigated Kellogg and found certain products to be
acceptable have done accurate research. But, how can we be certain that Kellogg
will continue to produce kosher corn flakes? ...<BR><BR>"Shall we assume that if
they decide to change ingredients in one of the "acceptable" cereals in order to
save some money, Kellogg will place a large advertisement in the Jewish papers
in order to notify us all. Far from it. The Kellogg company right now has no one
to answer to since nobody certifies their kashrus...."<BR><BR>....One could
still argue: Do such products need supervision or not? </DIV>

<DIV>The article you quoted gives one very strong argument in favor of
hechsherim as opposed to lists: if a company is under contract with a
kashrus agency, it can't change the ingredients in its supervised products
without informing the kashrus agency.</DIV>
