"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."<br>

Can someone corroborate or correct my previous paragraph?<br>

Akiva Miller"<br><br>It's not the European model. It's the laws of kashrut from the Gemara,Shulkan Aruch, Rishonim, Achronim and contemporary poskim. They followed those laws in Babylon, North Africa, India Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, Southern europe, Western Europe, everywhere in fact including, North America.......until about 30 years ago or less.<br clear="all">
