This is like some bottled
water has a hechsher
surly this is tantamount to
lifney eever …. or is it fraud?
2 things I can think of that may be problematic with no hechsher on such a product:
1. Depending on where the fish comes from, there can be a serious problem with worms. A proper hechsher helps ensure that the fish comes from such a place where worms aren’t an issue, and probably the fish will be checked accordingly.
2. This fish is cut up…and you can’t know under what conditions, and what other types of (shell?)fish are at the same place as this salmon is being prepared, and what other items the knife touched etc.
The Kof-K hechsher probably has standards that are above these conditiins…
Loshenhora,
PLEASE please please let the kashrus professionals deal with kashrus and you could deal with your narishkeit. You have NO idea what you are talking about. You have 10% of information, yet you speak as if you know it all.
1. Raw salmon is kosher, but even then how do you know what’s in the package is really salmon? If there’s no skin on it, it needs a hechsher.
2. This salmon (assuming that’s what it really is) is smoked. That really needs a hechsher, since you don’t know what ingredients were added, what it was smoked together with, what else the equipment was used for, etc.
