From this articles it should be clear why there<br>
are differences between kashrus in the US and<br>
Israel and the rest of the world and why one<br>
should not extrapolate from the standards of one<br>
organization in a given country to the situation in other countries.<br>
YL"<br><br>Sorry, but I completely disagree with you.<br>A jar of Polish jam that is kosher in Sainsbury's, Golders Green, is just as kosher in Trader Joes in Westwood, California.<br>That there are kashrut agences that have standards that are meta halachic,(none of the majors permit batel, for example) and differ amongst themselves in many cases, is irrelevant to the kashrut of a product, including that lovely vegetable, Brussel sprouts that started this whole thing off. Don't want to rely on those guidlines? Then don't, but please do not suggest that the products are not kosher.<br>
