<span class="Apple-style-span" style>I think that this following message posted on Avoda requires some adjustment:</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style>"if the goy is seeking our certification before </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style>he manufactures the product, then he is making it for our benefit, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style>and giving him the OK to mix it is the same as mixing it ourselves. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style>Whereas if he is making it for his own purposes, and is merely doing </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style>us a favour by disclosing to us after the event what he put in it, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style>then it's bediavad."</span><div>
<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif">I am fairly sure that Reb Moshe proves that a Goy who of his own initiative, wishes to make for his J neighbour, </font><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif">some fruit stew in his non-K kitchen with his non-K pots and utensils</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif">, and the G calls in a Rabbi to provide assurance to the J neighbour that the food contains no non-K stuff; there is no problem with the food and there is no problem with the rabbi being in attendance. The G may cook in his regular pots without Kashering them first. Reb Moshe applies this to the situation of first Kashering a manufacturing plant that wishes to make Kosher margarine.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:arial,sans-serif">Now the G makes fantastic fruit stew and since it is not only K but delicious and cheap; the Yiddel decides to order some for the upcoming Bar-Mitzvah of his son. This is not permitted. This is LeChatChila. If he did order it, it may not be eaten, neither by he who instructed it be made, nor by those who were the intended beneficiaries. However, it is Kosher and therefore it may be brought to Shule for all other Kosher conacious Yidden to partake and enjoy.</span></div>
<div><div><br></div><div>Accordingly, any company that wishes to provide Kosher accreditation to its present production can employ a rabbi to provide that certification. However, if Fishel's Fantastic Kosher wishes to contract for the manufacturing of the identical product but under the Fishel label, then we must Kasher the machinery.</div>
