Question
Is it permissible to buy products with Heter Mechira?
Answer
Vegetables with Heter Mechira are prohibited for consumption because they are considered sefichin. However, fruits and wine with Heter Mechira should not be purchased due to the prohibition of trading in Shemitah produce. If they were bought/received or if you are a guest, it is permissible to eat them until the time of biur. After the time of biur, if they were not disposed of in time, they become prohibited for consumption.
