I saw a pack of big league chew gum in the grocery store that had a BVK kosher symbol on it
Of course you should ask your LOR. FWIW, if you’re talking about the symbol of the Vaad HaKashrus of Buffalo, it’s on the CRC’s list of “common acceptable kosher symbols.”
Yes, I know the Rav Hamachshir
But dont take my word for it, they are part of AKO and are listed on the CRC’s reccomendned hashgachas
Buffalo Kosher Supervision….the cRc says it’s fine
Where is it stated that the cRc list is the be-all-end-all in determining reliability of other agencies? (I’m not referring to bvk, which is unfamiliar, but rather in general.)
Joseph
it certainly isn’t the be-all-end-all however if you rely on the CRC or OUI for that matter then you are relying on any hashgacha they deem reliable (including the BVK) since the CRC (or OU) accept ingredients with those hashgachas in a final product that they may supervise.
OF course if you do not rely on the CRC (and by extention other members of AKO) then the fact that the CRC says it is reliable doesn’t matter to you
