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.
