I don’t think that is responsive to my point.
Maybe you didn’t understand. Shall I explain it with a moshol? 🙂
My point is that when you buy ice cream which is certified, you would have no way of knowing if one of the ingredients is Drambuie which under goldersgreen’s bubbe maisa would only be approved.
My point was that I don’t think Drambuie should be approved without certification, because the flavorings are kashrus sensitive. A moshol for that would be cookies, which are also kashrus sensitive. They wouldn’t allow them to be used in ice cream without certification. Whereas, the sugar, which is not so kashrus sensitive, would be approved, not necessarily certified.
At one time, Drambuie was not certified, but was used in Europe. The kashrus experts in the U.S. with whom I spoke were very critical of its use without certification, and felt that the kashrus standards in Europe, where they relied on ingredient listings and some communication with the manufacturers, were anachronistic.
