Use of Vegetables from Heter Mechira

Question

I accidentally bought a bag of "Tapuchips" from Heter Mechira. Should I eat them, keep them with the sanctity of Shemitah until they spoil, or can I throw them away?

Answer

Shalom and blessings

Do not use them due to the prohibition of Sefichin. Do not spoil them by hand, as they are sanctified with the sanctity of Shemitah. Therefore, keep them until they spoil.
