coming from the U.S., I found hechsherim very complicated in Israel and had changed since I went to school there. I guess the best thing is if you have a Rov or if not a friend and ask them what the story is. Fortunately, my seminary daughter learned in seminary what is a good hechsher for us, and if we went out to eat she called ahead of time to her teachers and madrichot to double check.
The statement “which won’t use ridiculously fabricated kulos (leniencies), is not necessary, we don’t have to say bad things about Israel when it is not needed. Too much sinas chinum in this world, just my opinion.
