Reply To: Which Heimishe Hechsherim do you trust?

8I have worked in kashrus for over 30 years, under many Hechsherim. OU, Chof K, Johannesburg Bais Din, Vaad of the 5 Towns, Kehilah Kosher. Rule One: A hechsher is only as good as it’s mashgichim. As the owner of Empire Poultry told me 30 years ago, “If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys”. Before you look at the lenth of the Rav HaMachshi’s beard or payos, look at his mashgichim’s pay. LOW PAY EQUALS LOW QUALITY MASHGICHIM
Some hechsherim are good about this (Chof-K may be the best) others, R edited would make me wait at least 3 months after I supervised a factory production. R edited did not know how to check for t’loim, and was unconcerned when my I was not paid on time and my hourly pay rate was cut by my employers from 14 to 11 dollars per hour. I ask you, what kind of a person would work for this pay? Probably not someone you would trust in your own home.
I retired 5 years ago, and now rarely eat out anywhere, and only after research in both the Yorah Deah of the Rav HaMachsir, but his Choshen Mishpat as well. Let the buyer bewhare.
