Delivering trief food

Question

Can I deliver trief food for delivery companies like uber eats or door dash?

Answer

Shalom! 

Thank you for your question. 

As a general rule, it is forbidden to do business with non-kosher foods, a concept known as “sechora b’maachalot assurot.” 

However, in your case we can say that you are not considered responsible since if you wouldn't deliver it someone else would, therefore, it is permitted to work for them.
