to Sam2:
There’s a big difference.
Naturally occurring Treifos don’t have to be assumed. Treifos that we know about (in this case because they are man-made) do have to be taken into account according to most Poskim.
to only normal person around:
I live in America and am not familiar with what goes on in Israel and even less with Uruguay.
I did hear that a better feed is provided to the cows in Israel so this procedure is not used there.
I would like to make a statement here.
I am not a Posek. I am just very irked about the Letzonos and jokes about a Takana that were made by our CHaZa”L to prohibit Chalav Akum.
These were Baalei Ruach HaKodesh. Maybe they didn’t forsee the stapling problems we have today, but the Siyyata Shmaya of following this – sometimes very difficult – Takana has saved many from accidentally consuming Chalav Treife in our times.
If Reb Moshe ZaTZaL allowed a temporary leniency in America because of government inspection where Chalav Yisrael was not available, he certainly wouldn’t have done so so we should immerse ourselves in Frusen Gladje and Kinder Chocolate Eggs. It was meant for basic staples. But that is beside the point.
The point is that making light of our ChaZaL is – indeed – dangerous territory.
