Question
Seventh-year vegetables belonging to a non-Jew that have passed the time of biur, and were during the time of biur in the house or store of a Jew who does not observe the sanctity of the seventh year in non-Jewish produce, and therefore did not destroy them. Are they forbidden to eat for someone who observes the sanctity of the seventh year, since they were not destroyed in time? This is very common now with canned vegetables, and later in the year with wines and the like.
Answer
Shalom Rav
After purchasing them, someone who observes the sanctity of the seventh year should declare them ownerless and perform the mitzvah of biur, and then he can eat them.
