Question
Is it permissible to buy cotton candy from a sugar-making machine?
Answer
If the machine has not been immersed in a mikvah, it is forbidden to order a portion of cotton candy from the seller. However, if the seller has already prepared the cotton candy and sells it after preparation, it is permissible to buy and eat it initially. If the machine was assembled in Israel by a Jew in a manner that requires a professional to assemble it, or if the machine broke and a professional disassembled it, repaired it, and reassembled it [which is very common in commercial machines that frequently have malfunctions], the machine does not require immersion, and it is permissible to order from it.
