MDLevine. What do you think happens when you have multiple hechsherim on an establishment or product?
It’s usually the same person covering for all hechsherim. I know. I was in kashrus for a while, when just out of yeshiva. I had the tape for 3 different hechsherim at a “plant” and depending on the customer, thats the tape I sealed the box with. Perhaps my experience has left me a bit jaded with the kashrus business (and I use that word with all its implications) but when I see multiple hechsherim I think marketing ploy, not any additional level of kashrus, special run or anything of the sort.
I once asked a “sticker Rav” what additional chumros were adhered to during the special run with which his stickers were affixed, he answered there was no special run and nothing was different. The consumers recognized his name and the distributor felt it would sell better. He should turn down parnassah because of this? I know I wouldnt.
