Question

I am a guest at someone's house, and they are offering me products from Heter Mechira. What should I do?

Answer

Vegetables from Heter Mechira are prohibited for consumption because they are considered sefichin. However, fruits and wine from Heter Mechira, if they have already been served, are permitted to eat until the time of biur. After the time of biur, if they were not disposed of in time, they become prohibited for consumption.
