The best bubby, thanks for the corrections. [i didn’t mean to say that thay have never been down to the factory, what i
meant was that there was a difference between the regular level of nuchnas ve’yoitzei [done without prior warning], and a one time, or even annual visit] Although i do not know rabbi conway personally, e widely recognised as anexcellent maven in today’s food technologies etc..
PBA, i meant nothing against the london beis din, all i meant to
say was that they have a lower level of supervision on drambuiee, and to reccomend other liquers with full supervision. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I am not aware of all their rules, i am however aware that many hachsherim “approve” things and mentiiion that they are bishul accum, or even cholov accum, so it is important to keep up to date of the various changes. They publish an annual list under the name “the real kosher food guide.”
At the same time, i must point out that it is out of place to refer to this basic information as “british politics”, i meant no more than simple facts that everyone agrees on.
