Do you require a hechsher for vegetable oil or do you just rely on the manufacturer?
The point I was trying to make is that you are accepting as a fact that the newsprint ink is nontoxic here in the US because it is soy or vegetable based . All I am saying is that there is no way for the publisher to know if the ink is or isn’t soy or vegetable based. The only one who knows is the manufacturer and the publisher doesn’t buy it directly from them.
What if we sometimes dip our celery sticks in the car’s oil tank, does it need a hescher then?
Dipping food in the fuel tank is highly toxic as it probably was used with gasoline which is highly toxic. You do not need a hechsher on fuel if you are not eating it.
nauseous! Since you would probably throw up before it’s digested, I would posken that it doesn’t need a hashgacha.
I agree that it doesn’t require a hecsher but disagree with the idea that you would probably throw up before it’s digested. It’s no different than lead based paint chips which children like to eat.
