hello99 -“As the Shach writes in rule #33 of Sfek Sfeikos, any Sakek that is more likely Assur than Muttar does not count.”
True, he does say this but I’m learning that none of the general rules of Sfek Sfeka apply by Chodosh. They ask what is the difference between Chodosh and Taaruvos, which is Ossur in a Sfek Sfeka? Because by Dogon, you don’t have to be eating Chodosh, while Taaruvos you definitely are eating Treif. It can’t be like you that as long as there is Vaday Chodosh, it is Ossur, which is determined by the Rov. Because simply if we looked at Dogon that you want to eat, it always has Chodosh (in the pile), even in the Sfek Sfeka of the Rema. So what will you tell me -go after the Rov. But the Schach says YD 110 #25 if something is a Dovor Ossur, a Rov is never Matter it. So therefore if Chodosh has the same Dinim of regular Sfek Sfeka, it would never be Mutter because it’s almost impossible to say that there isn’t Chodosh in the pile.
So my Sfek Sfeka is you don’t look at the pile, you look at what you are eating. Is this from this year or from last year? Last year would be Yoshon, so you could be eating only Yoshon. Second safek -if from this year, maybe it’s from imported which is most likely Yoshon. If the Rov would tell you, for example on the Safek of is it before Pesach or after – that it’s mostly after, then this becomes an invalid Safek.
