What about the peeled and cored whole pineapples? I believe that there is a special machine that does this and it is doubtful that it could be used for anything else? Also, what about products in a bulk food store that originally were kosher – the sealed bag had a hechsher? There is a large chain of bulk food stores in Canada that sells the Osem Israeli cous cous in bulk for a fraction of the price that it sells for in small packages. The clerk told me that the bin that cous cous is in has never been used for anything else – however, the scoops are washed often in a dishwasher and I am sure the original scoop doesn’t go back to the original bin. Would the cous cous be kosher?
