Question
Thank you in advance, with blessings.
P.S. Presumably he is knowledgeable in the laws of kashrut.
Answer
I have no source, and no source is needed. Testimony regarding prohibitions is not really testimony but evidence. Now go and think whether there is evidence here or not. This is not a question for halakhic sources, but for assessing the reality.
