A message from the Mashgiach at Pic-N-Pay:
Pic-N-Pay admits that we reprinted the OU supervision on our label without the permission of the OU. The poultry we receive is sealed at the factory by the OU and repacked at Pic-N-Pay under strict Orthodox Rabbinical Supervision. Pic-N-Pay invites anyone who would like to inspect our products into our store and we would be happy to show our processing facilities.
THIS IS A LABELING ISSUE NOT A KASHRUS ISSUE.

Pic-N-Pay wishes everyone a Chag Kasher V’Sameach.

popa #1: Out of town it is hard to find kashrus in the first place, many times.

it is known that frum people should not shop in that store- they are suspiciously cheap. I was told by may people not to shop there- even before this happened

This is NOT Scandal the Kosher Spot was a scandal, this is standard operating procedure in many stores to repack and label it with the original hasgacha. It may be improper but IT’S NOT A SCANDAL!

This is always the confusing part about kashrus. The competition makes it impossible to know if the product is really not kosher or simply not or no longer authorized by a specific agency. Many times a hechsher is changed from one organization to another and the only announcement made is that the previous agency no longer supervises. This is sadly wrong and creates scandals where none exist.

I’m pretty sure it is impossible to keep kosher in the greater NYC area. This never happens out of town where people actually care about kashrus.
