Description

Can I eat a candy bar without a hechsher on the wrapper if I know that there less than 1:60 of the assur ingredient? If it is allowed, why doesn't it have a hechsher? We discuss the issue of "ein mevatlin issur lechatchilah" and its implications for buying products from Jews and non-Jews, as well as non-Jewish food companies, that utilize on bittul in the production of their food items.
