(Everyone drank Yoo-hoo in my day. Similarly, various canned fruit, etc. was all used.) Triangle-K now certifies Hebrew National; not sure what he would say about that.<br /><br />Someone else I know at the OU then told me that a problem with the Rabbanut is they are required to accept certain hechsherim, as opposed to the OU, which apparently checks product by product. (Thereby possibly accepting Triangle-K? They don't release that information.)Nachumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11292162031685942549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626974447429315601.post-53762045505854134562012-06-05T00:30:52.640+03:002012-06-05T00:30:52.640+03:00I dont understand the dilemma you close with. if y...I dont understand the dilemma you close with. if you are makpid on mehadrin then the Rabbanut regularly approves products that you do not approve of.Rafi G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00699851287106903971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626974447429315601.post-52357262358238023582012-06-04T18:45:15.913+03:002012-06-04T18:45:15.913+03:00An Ishur from the Rabbanut JUST means that the rab...An Ishur from the Rabbanut JUST means that the rabbi who gives the hashgacha has an Orthodox smicha. The Rabbanut did not check out the product at all, has never visited the factory, did not administer an exam to the rav ha-machshir and has no further information than checking his Orthodox denomination.<br /><br />That is how a product that has a Triangle-K can get an ishur rabbanut when no Orthodox Jew in the US would eat it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7626974447429315601.post-36745946379981418252012-06-04T18:37:03.704+03:002012-06-04T18:37:03.704+03:00One could make the argument that the Oreo's ar...One could make the argument that the Oreo's are kosher. Oreo's are made the strictly controlled specifications. In the States and Canada they have an OU. And when it comes to Triangle K, apparently it's not that they are totally unreliable but because they are sometimes reliable even those products they can be trusted on are avoided.Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571194550300367249noreply@blogger.com
