Question

An onion that was cut with a knife, and it is unknown which knife was used. What should be done if one wants to cut or eat it now?

Answer

Initially, it should not be cut with a knife that is not pareve, nor should it be eaten with food that is not pareve, as there is a concern it might be of the other type. However, if it was cut or mixed with one of the types, it is not prohibited due to doubt.
