Reply To: What’s up with Kosher Shampoo?

“Because the entire idea of cholov stam is to rely on the government’s “hashgacha” for milk without needing Yidden.”
Wrong – all the Gov regulations and inspections does, is take off the original Gezeros Chazal, fearing that the “cow” milk really contains milk from non-kosher animal species. (i.e. by verifying that there are no non-kosher species on-site).
The very concept of a Hecsher is not an actual Chiyuv, the Talmudic halacha is ‘Aid Achod Ne’emon be’Isurim”
Now for whatever the reason we need an Hechsher nowadays, applies to the above milk as well.
The Gov is NOT regulating its Kosher status, rather, the content of “cow milk”…
