@ Joseph – “Note – if you are really that stringent/machmir, you shouldn’t be eating from ANY American Hecsher, as they all rely on all kind of Kulos (Bitul, Bishul Akum, etc…). At least in this case you have a clear-cut Psak of the MB and Aruch Hashulchan that it is accepted as Minhag.”
1) Bitul is NOT a kulah. It is a din d’Oraisa. Rav Moshe ztzvk”l, I believe writes that anyone who does not rely on bitul (when permitted to do so) is not a maamin b’Toras Moshe.
2) No hashhachah is meikil to allow Bishul Akum. Bishul Akum is NOT a chumra about which one can be meikel. It is a din d’Rabbonon. There are various opinions and viable options as to how to accomplish bishul Yisroel, but bishul Akum is always prohibited.
