Question
In our days, is it necessary to be strict to buy only products with a hechsher stating “ground after Pesach”? I have heard it claimed that even Mehadrin Badatz kashrut certifications sometimes sell products that are not actually ground after Pesach, yet they write on them that they are “ground after Pesach.” What is the halacha regarding being particular about “ground after Pesach”?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha
A reliable hechsher will not write something untrue.
Whether one should be strict about this or not does not depend on what the kashrut agencies write, but on what the reality is.
In essence, this is a stringency that has a basis, but it is not a halachic obligation.
