Reply To: Awkward kashrus situation – advice?

Avram – excellent post. When I worked in a hospital, the mashgiach there told me the salad bar was no problem, but that was specifically because of the way things worked in THAT kitchen. I know someone in treif food service who told me that it will often happen that a waiter/cook will put salad on a plate with food and then remember the costumer ordered fries or chips and will then put the salad back into the bin. He said they will also use the same gloves when plating the sandwiches as the salad (which they do by the gloved handfuls in many places), even though the knives were separate.
