Can anyone explain why a twizzlers or Mike and Ike would need a Hamish hasgha sticker on it?
They are already kosher and there is no difference in the runs.
so your kids can bring it to school! lol
i hold like this if there is an orignal hechsur ie ou on orignal pkg then i will eat but i have seen already a sticker with no hechsur on orignal i think it was a cereal i wont eat that
i dont want to go into the whole hechsur business and it will prob be not let thru what i wanna say anyway but let me just tell u this ask anybody that has a resturant/take out or food company how many times a month the mashkiach comes down besides to pu the check
A family friend of ours is a lawyer. There was once a case where a truck carrying heimish candy was an accident and the merchandise on the truck was destroyed. The heimish candy company wanted to sue the trucking company for the heimish price of the candy where as the truckign company only wanted to reimburse for the regular price of the candy. Our family friend was the lawyer for the trucking company. The end result of the case was that the heimish company was not able to prove that they had added value to candy and they lost the case.
Many people only use products with a heimishe/chassidishe hashgocho, mainly because they want the additional stringencies that may exist with these hashgochos. When such a consumer sees a package of Mike and Ike with just an OU, s/he wont know if the product was manufactured with the standards that s/he wants. The heimishe/chassidishe hashgocho is just saying that this product conforms to those standards.
Assuming they piggyback off the original hashgocho, the consumer should be able to consume the same product even without the additional hashgocho sticker on it.
It may be a requirement of the school, but it has no bearing on the kashrus. A school, however, does have the right to set its standards for what may be brought in.
