  • Chalav Akum, Dairy equipment, DE, יו"ד קטו

If I do not eat Chalav Akum does that mean I should also refrain from eating anything that has a Hechsher and Says DE (Dairy equipment)?

  • Chalav Akum, Tikkun, Timtum Halev

A couple of years ago, I accidentally consumed and enjoyed Chalav Akum. I was taught that Chalav Akum can cause Timtum Halev, and I want to do Teshuva. Can the Rov give me a Tikkun for this?

Is it permissible/ideal to eat food with a Lubavitch Hechsher cooked in Keilim that were used to cook food without a Lubavitch Hechsher?

  Specifically: Lubavitch meat cooked in Keilim or in an oven which were used to cook non-Lubavitch meat but with a good hechsher? How about Parve food (such as fish,…

I ordered from Amazon 12 boxes of gluten free cookie mix under a certain Hashgacha. I received the cookie mix, but now apparently it is dairy under a different Hashgacha. Amazon credited my account but doesn’t want me to return these items. Can I give it to a Jewish food pantry?
