Enjoyment from Pas Akum

Bread which was baked by a private non-Jew and is ossur because of pas akum may be sold by a Jew but only if there is no concern that it will be sold to another Jew.(41) In addition one is permitted to give it as a gift etc.

Eating by someone who eats Pas Paltur

If a host who is careful and does not eat pas paltur has guests who do eat pas paltur, he may still exempt the guests by making hamotzei on pas paltur.(42) If each guest recites their own beracha then this halacha does not apply.(43) In addition, the Aruch Hashulchan (44) maintains that this halacha is only applicable by someone who is a real guest to which the concept of hachnosas orchim applies, but if one is with family members etc this would not apply and the host should recite a beracha on the pas yisroel.
