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 only if the food is not under your responsibility then the actual delivery would be permitted. However, with regard to marit ayin, there is a concern, and it would be permitted only if, for example, you could receive the food away from the shop in a way that people would not know it came from a treif shop, and it is in a container that does not identify it as coming from a non-kosher restaurant.
