And the frum just keep getting frummer!! I came across this article on Matzav about a milk company that will not only be chalav Yisrael, and will not only have 1 hashgacha but 4! That's right, they may be serving treif hot dogs in Boro Park but this milk company will now have 4 hashgachos: the Vaad Hakashrus of Skver, Khal Adath Jeshurun (KAJ), the Nirbater Rov (Rav Aharon Teitelbaum), and the Orthodox Union (OU). I guess they want to cover all of their bases and make sure they don't isolate anyone. But here is the best part. The companies slogan is "Anachnu Machmirim Bnei Machmirim,”. I think a better slogan would be "Anachnu cholim ben cholim". Realy sick stuff.

As I wrote in my article on the hot dog scandal I am all for uniformity in kashrus and uniformity in kashrus training. But I think this takes it to the next level, forget the gold standard of Chalav Yisrael with a chasidishe hashgacha, now we have super duper chalav yisrael with not one but four hashgachos. What, however, happens if I don't trust the OU or KAJ but I do trust the other two or visa versa, can I still rely on this even though two of the four hashgachos are no good? Will this carry over to other areas of kashrus that people are now going to demand more than one hashgacha because if one is good, seventeen must be better. On the bright side the article does say that this companies prices are cheaper (kind of hard to understand how they make a profit if they are paying for all of these hashgachos). Also, what happens when the mashgichim do not agree on something? Will there be a rumble on the floor of the plant, no holds bard hashgacha match? I can see it now, maybe pay per view will sell tickets.

I hope to soon see a kol koreah calling on all kosher establishments to demand that they now hold by the new platinum standard of having at minimum 4 hashgachos on their products.
Folks, you can't make this stuff up.
