The Chief Rabbinate of Israel Kashrus Division revoked its hashgacha from a Petach Tikvah pita bakery on motzei Pesach. When the mashgiach arrived at the bakery not too long after motzei yomtov, the owner was not able to adequately explain how he got pitot ready in the short time period since yomtov ended.

When it became clear the owner was incapable of explaining events, the decision was made to revoke the store’s kashrus. The mashgiach understood that baking began before the end of yomtov.
