If a drop of milk falls into a pot of meat and there is 60 times more meat than the drop then the food is mutar.The question is, is it assur to throw out the food since one is uncomfortable to eat something which milk fell into even though it is 100 percent mutar or one cant be machmir on wasting mutar food?

The Pri Toar holds that one may be machmir on himself and not eat the food. However, the Toras Ha’asham holds very strongly that since the Torah said it is permitted one should eat it and not throw it out. Similarly, the Darchai Tshuva brings the Bnei Yisachar and Shla’ah that also say that one should eat it and there is no midas chasidus not to eat it rather it is a mitzvah to eat it. With this he explains the Chazal “???? ????? ????? ??? ???? ???? ????” that a person that legitimately works to find a proper heter for something and eats it is greater then one who has yiras shamaim and does not eat it.
