Bal Tashchis vs. Kashrus Concerns
Question
Shalom, I accidentally bought meat pastrami with only a Rabbanut hechsher. Is it better to throw it in the garbage (bal tashchis) or to give it to someone who eats it (lifnei iver)?Thank you.
Answer
Shalom uVracha,
There’s no issue of bal tashchis when there’s a concern about kashrus.
