Kosher Status of a Product
Question
With God’s help,
Hello Rabbi,
I wanted to ask: if there is a product in a supermarket that does not appear on kosher lists abroad, and all of its ingredients seem at first glance at least to be kosher on their own, is it permitted to eat it abroad?
Answer
I can’t answer you. A first glance is not a good criterion for anything. You need knowledge; first impressions, or even second ones, are not enough.
