The following\nexamples of kosher consumer misconceptions are based on real Kosher Hotline\ninquiries. Hopefully, this article will help clarify some common errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception 1: Putting an oven into Sabbath Mode allows\none to cook on Shabbos.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Chas v\u2019shalom<\/em>! The Sabbath Mode does <em>not<\/em> allow one to cook on Shabbos. The\nSabbath Mode makes a modern oven halachically compliant so that it may be used on\nShabbos and Yom Tov. The purpose of the Sabbath Mode was to address new\ntechnological and computerized features that have created issues regarding oven\nuse on Shabbos and Yom Tov. These features include: 12-hour shut off; ringing\nand chiming at the end of the time bake cycle; inability to disable the oven\nlight; digital displays that render the modern-day oven unusable on Shabbos and\nimpede adjusting the temperature for cooking on Yom Tov, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sabbath\nMode is an internal program that addresses and bypasses these issues so that\nthe oven can be used on as halachically prescribed on Shabbos and Yom Tov. All\nlaws of cooking and rewarming \u2013 <em>bishul, shehiyah, <\/em>and<em> chazara<\/em> \u2013\nstill apply and must be rigorously observed. It should be noted that clearing the\ncontrol panel that allows for adjustment of the oven temperature on Yom Tov\ndoes <em>not<\/em> apply to use on Shabbos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception 2: Today, the kosher wine section in the\nliquor store carries Israeli wines produced from grapes grown in the <em>Shemita<\/em>\nyear bearing the following claim, \u201c<em>Otzar Beis Din<\/em> wine \u2013 after the <em>sha\u2019as\nhabiur<\/em>.\u201d&nbsp; The wine appears to have\nreliable certification. I should have no problem drinking this wine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proceed\nwith caution. There are many factors that need to be clarified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can\none purchase <em>Shemita <\/em>wine outside Eretz Yisroel, since the wine is\nvested with <em>kedushas shevi\u2019is<\/em>, the sanctity of the Sabbatical year?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless\nof whether the wine can be purchased after the grape\/wine growing season has\npassed, and grapes are no longer found in the field, a halachic process must\ntake place prior to one\u2019s partaking of the grapes. One must take <em>Shemita<\/em>grapes\/wine<a href=\"#_ftn1\">[1]<\/a>, place\nthem in a public domain and publicly declare in the presence of three people\nthat these grapes are <em>hefker<\/em>, ownerless. This procedure of rescinding\nownership of the grapes\/wine after the grapes are no longer found in the fields\nis commonly referred to as being <em>mafkir<\/em> the <em>peiros l\u2019achar sha\u2019as\nhabiur<\/em>. The nullifier, or anyone else, can claim or reclaim ownership of\nthe grapes\/wine, which would then be available for drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However,\nthe wine is still vested with <em>kedushas shevi\u2019is<\/em> and cannot be used for\nany non-sanctified purpose, such as extinguishing a Havdalah candle, pouring\nout the remaining Kiddush wine, or pouring out the wine for the ten <em>makos<\/em>\nat the Pesach Seder. The wine or produce must be completely consumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According\nto Rabbi Moshe Heinemann <em>shlit\u201da<\/em>, Rabbinic Administrator of STAR-K, if\none does not know if the <em>biur<\/em> procedure was performed properly, one\nwould first have to rescind ownership of the wine in front of three people in a\npublic domain. He would then be <em>mafkir<\/em> the wine, reclaim it, and only\nthen drink the wine <em>b\u2019kedushas shevi\u2019is<\/em> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception 3: Cold food may be placed directly in a\nwarming drawer on Shabbos, without a <em>blech<\/em>, regardless of the\ntemperature of the warming drawer because it only keeps the food warm. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not\ntrue. Since a warming drawer can warm food beyond <em>yad soledes bo<\/em> (120\u00b0F), which constitutes halachic cooking, it is forbidden to use the\nwarming drawer on Shabbos. This is because a warming drawer is halachically\nconsidered to be the same as an oven because it is thermostatically controlled.\nHowever, if the warming drawer warms the food below <em>yad soledes bo<\/em> (120\u00b0F), it would be permitted for Shabbos use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception 4: Products labeled DE may be eaten\nonly on dairy utensils, and products labeled ME may be eaten only\non meat utensils. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nis an incorrect assumption. DE means that a pareve product was cooked using\nclean <em>dairy<\/em> equipment, and ME means that the pareve product was cooked\nusing clean <em>meat<\/em> equipment. Since the product was cooked in a gender\nspecific utensil, it cannot be eaten with the other gender: a DE product cannot\nbe eaten with meat, and a ME product cannot be eaten with a dairy product. (Thus,\nspaghetti sauce stating that it is ME cannot be mixed with cheese.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However,\nthe restriction regarding the use of the other gender dishes or utensils only\napplies to using it while they are hot. Therefore, pareve ices stating that\nthey are DE may be scooped into meat dessert bowls and vice versa, but should\nnot be washed together with the regular dirty meat dishes in hot water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception 5: Frozen fruits or vegetables bearing\nkosher certification are pre-checked for <em>tolayim<\/em> and are halachically\ninsect-free. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nis not necessarily so. Some certifications certify that the product does not\nrequire any further checking; others might not address the issue at all, or\ntheir standards might not require the produce to be inspected. This is a\nchallenging problem for the kosher consumer because different organizations\nmaintain different standards and some certifications do not address the issue at\nall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception 6: An allergy disclaimer stating that the\nproduct is made in a facility or on equipment that is used for dairy products\nautomatically makes the product <em>milchig<\/em>, dairy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>False.\nDue to the severity of allergies \u2013 dairy, nut, gluten \u2013 companies are very\ncareful to make disclosures to avoid any possible lawsuits. For example, to\navoid cross contamination, a company may pack a dry, dairy, chocolate-covered\npeanut and have a complete wipe down after the product is packed. The label\nwill correctly state, \u201cproduced in a facility that manufactures nuts and milk\nproducts.\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When\nthat company subsequently produces a 100% pareve item, and the same disclaimer\nappears, it means that the product was manufactured on strictly pareve equipment\nand there was no dairy contamination or intermingling whatsoever with the\npareve product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception 7: All dairy products sold or produced in\nIsrael are <em>Cholov Yisroel<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nis a very important misconception, because the Israeli Chief Rabbinate will\npermit the use of non- <em>Cholov Yisroel<\/em> powdered milk to be used as an\ningredient. The product will state \u2018<em>avkat cholov nochri<\/em>\u2019 \u2013 that non-<em>Cholov\nYisroel<\/em> powdered milk is a permissible dairy ingredient. This is based on the\n<em>heter<\/em> of Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank <em>zt\u201dl<\/em>, former Rav of Yerushalayim,\nwho maintained that the prohibition of&nbsp; <em>cholov\nakum<\/em> only applies to fluid milk and not to powdered milk. This is not\naccepted as a <em>Cholov Yisroel<\/em> ingredient for those who are very strict\nadherents. But those who accept the <em>heter <\/em>of Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank <em>zt\u201dl<\/em>\nwill consume <em>avkat cholov nochri<\/em>. Bottom line: Read the labels\ncarefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception 8: I made an online purchase of a product that displayed a prominent kashrus symbol on the label. Upon delivery, I noticed that the kashrus symbol was missing. Can I assume that the production is kosher, and the symbol was left off in error?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Au contraire!<\/em> Websites are constantly changing, and it is not uncommon for\ncompanies to change or discontinue kosher certification. This is more prevalent\nwith imported products that at the request of the importer pursued kosher\ncertification. Once the contract terminates, so does the need for\ncertification, but the website remains in perpetuity. Moral of the story: check\nthe label!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Misconception 9: Stickers on kosher certified products ensure\nthe product is kosher.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depends.\nSometimes a company makes a special production using alternative ingredients,\nleaving out ingredients such as resinous glaze or making a product <em>bishul Yisroel<\/em>.\n&nbsp;However, the special production client\ndoes not want to pay for special packaging. A sticker is a far more inexpensive\nspecial labeling method. Sometimes, the sticker is just a ploy to lead the\nconsumer to believe that it is a special production; at times, a sticker is placed\nirrespective of the kosher certification on the product. Consumers should be\nalerted to the fact that at times manufacturers will overwrap a KFP product\nusing the same year-round overwrap packaging.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As\nyou can see, in the ever-changing world of kosher food certification, an alert\nand attuned kosher consumer is the best insurance policy to ensure that\neverything is error-free.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> Or any other <em>Shemita<\/em> produce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fall 2021<\/p>\n<p>STAR-K\u2019s<br \/>\nconsumer Kosher Hotline is constantly abuzz with kashrus inquiries.
