"For example, isn't it<br>
possible that the factory had processed hot clam-flavored tomato juice<br>
on the same equipment, and less than 24 hours previously? How would an<br>
ordinary individual know that, unless he worked in this field?<br>
Akiva Miller"<br><br>Actually, no.<br>No experience in the field necessary Just a little knowledge of Jewish Law .<br>Unless you know for sure that the equipment was used for hot treif within 24 hours, the pure tomato juice is perfectly kosher.<br>
Suffeik ben yomo is aino ben yomo.<br>(Clammed tomato juice is a red herring.Excuse the puns.But clams are an allergen. there is no way a manufacturer is not going to properly clean,sterilise, and in essence kasher his equipment between such runs.)<br>
