What goes on in the kitchen stays in the kitchen ... Many people who've worked in food establishments say things a kind of loosey goosey behind the scenes.<br /><br />"I actually did get a p'sak from a knowledgeable Rabbi that one may buy non-acidic cut up fruits from any (clean) store."<br /><br />It's a legitimate psak. There are shitos who hold that even if a knife with tarfus was used it would only assur the first fruit that it cut, so it's a s'fek s'feika. Other shitos disagree. (It's an early machlokes - there's a Pri Chadash on one side or the other, but I forget what his shita was :) ) That's probably why the Star-K used the "should avoid" formulation.Fotheringay-Phippsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358603577059630653.post-70801746998184005612010-03-22T22:40:03.852-04:002010-03-22T22:40:03.852-04:00Thanks for commenting.

Certainly it can be combined with the many other lenient factors in this case. <br /> <br />אפשר לברורי is the term you want and you are probably right<br /><br />Thanks for al the comments.Wolf2191https://www.blogger.com/profile/13577870680689849400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358603577059630653.post-5197292083258658842010-03-21T23:45:08.536-04:002010-03-21T23:45:08.536-04:00Apples are considered a Davar Charif according to ...Apples are considered a Davar Charif according to some Poskim. So are many acidic fruit. FP is correct that there is concern for b'ein on all knives.<br /> NYC water is considered by many Poskim( Rabbis Dovid Feinstein Feivel Cohen and rav Elyashiv and Scheinberg see bdikas hamazon kahalacha vol. 3)to be prohibited even bdieved.<br /> Keilim that are not Bnei Yoman are prohibited.

(In particular, fatty foods don't leave unless you have ne'itza b'karak) What you write would apply if the problem is just blios.<br /><br />#3: Ashkenazim don't hold of shi'i.
