As part of the proceccing, it passed through a stage in which it is not edible. Based on this, some rabbis (I think R' Ovadya and others) allow gelatin to be used because the say that the non-edible stage is it's source rather than the non-kosher cow stage. Other rabbis (R' Moshe and others) disagree because the interem stage is intended to go on to a food stage and as such is still considered food the whole way through. Hence we have a food with a non-kosher source.<BR/><BR/>The Rabbanut has a general policy of using any legitamate ruling to allow food and make like easier on people to eat kosher. The issue comes up when I want to rule according to Rabbi X who's ruling was not the one the Rabbanut used.<BR/><BR/>In our case, if I am an American Jew (who follows R'Moshe's halachic rulings), can I eat Rabbanut products which (may) contain gelatin? Or Triangle-K stuff?<BR/><BR/>The above was off the cuff, from memory, and second-hand.

Since its under the hashgacha of our local Muqata mashgiach, I gave him a call.<BR/><BR/>In fact, they removed the products, even though they have the hasgacha ot the rabbanut on it (who basically rely on the triange-K).<BR/><BR/>Its a problem, but thankfully, not a huge one. I wonder what the source of geliten is used in Elite marshmellows.Jameel @ The Muqatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890095633246557332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10092842.post-1142800148912746202006-03-19T22:29:00.000+02:002006-03-19T22:29:00.000+02:00I don't know if that is the issue with triangle K ...I don't know if that is the issue with triangle K or no... I do know that it is an issue with some yogurts/milkeys/candies/random things that are completely kosher according to their rabbanut dairy hashkachah given and made in Israel. I do feel strongly that however you hold, it ain't no pork.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293573255182854153noreply@blogger.com
