I distinctly remember that it was, but if i’m wrong and someone knows different i apologize in advance– however, it doesn’t change the strangness of having two eerily similar choteh u’machteh es harabim incidents within 5 miles of each other, one would think extra vigilence would be in order from now on, and wonder why it wasn’t put in after the emes scandal

azny i dont know where you picked up your mistaken information from, but i’ve been in la for many years and EMES MEATS WAS NOT UNDER THE RCC, IT WAS UNDER ANOTHER HASHGACHA!!!
and lakewooder2, your talking like someone who really doesn’t know los angeles, because most of the prominent rabonim in the community are associated with the RCC and there is not one ben torah who doesn’t trust the RCC.

so please, both of you, stop talking like the media and get your info straight

Fascinating how history repeats itself… Back in the early 90′s Emes Meats on La Cienega Blvd in LA (not 5 miles from Doheny Meats) went through the exact same scandal– also found out by a Japanese inspector from the govt who saw Zacky Farms chikens being re-labeled as kosher– happened right before Mothers day so that the Sunday of mothers day an LA wide kashuring of all the people’s kaylem both on the beverly hills side as well as the hancock park side, was done in many shuls— Emes was also under the RCC— makes you wonder???

Folks,

Let’s not forget this story was reported by the “Jewish” journal whose only tie to Jewish is the name.

Don’t jump to conclusions about this.

the old addage is an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. This scandal could have been prevented with more stricter mashgiach (temidi)policies. I do not live in LA nevertheless, I know the rabbonim of the RCC and indeed they have years of experience in the field of kashrus and enjoy the repect by the Los Angeles community. However, there have been previous scandals in other frum communities while under most respected rabbonim, e.g.monsey, brooklyn. All those incidents would not have occurred if there was a trained mashgiach temidi. when the kosher consumer/baalei batim start demanding a better standard of kashrus [for which they are already paying a premium], these kind of problems won’t happen. today glatt does not mean only glatt meat but rather glatt is used to glatt kosher, glatt chickens, glatt pizza, glatt vegtables etc. Glatt means 100% no shailos, no kulos kosher!!

As a frequent visitor to Los Angeles. Bnei Tora in LA have long been weary of the rcc hechsher in spite of its rabbonim being prominent. This scandal has not taken all by surprise.

When I was working in Kashrus I had the keys to the store and changed the locks regularly even though my supervisor was not makpid. The own was not Shommer Shabbos and I would not trust him with a penny never mind the keys to the meat shop. We had battle like him bring tails in the store and selling it to Jews. After the first week I told him if one tail enter the store I will through it in the middle of the road. He did not do it again and the Jews no longer bought it.

“.. the owner of Kosher Club, a retailer and distributor of kosher meats, claims that he witnessed Doheny Kosher Meats repacking meat in boxes labeled “Glatt Kosher” as early as 2010.”

COMPETITOR?? Why is he at all believed?

(See gemara yevamos case where we don’t believe certain people regarding ne’manus because they are like “competitors” I.E. A second wife etc. )

THE JEWISH JOURNAL?? Fech! As more correctly referred to previously as the jewish urinal. YOU WOULDNT READ THEIR DISCUSTING , ANTI-FRUM PAPER ALL THE TIME, SO WHY WOULD WE TRUST THEM ON A MATTER LIKE THIS SO HUGE!!!

Cmon people, don’t be so niave..

Lazerc
The rcc has not ignored the situation at all. As soon as the scandal broke Rabbi Davidi stood outside of the place and informed everyone that entered that it its supervision was revoked “for cause”

Secondly they issued emails to all of la residents concerning the status of the meat and poultry etc.

They NEVER ignored the situation prior to the discovery of the scandal. The evidence didn’t add up until now. And to go and believe a competitors take on the story I.E. Daryl shwartz as mentions is ridiculous. Its unfortunate ywn posted his nonsense
