| Nov 4, 2018 at 18:15 | comment | added | SAH | @Loewian I had an Impossible Cheeseburger with real cheese at an OU-certified restaurant in manhattan. I hope I was not wrong to do so. I also eat--and make--the cheesecake after the Shabbos meal | |

| Jul 19, 2018 at 16:57 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | FYI It's pretty underwhelming even if it is kosher | |

| May 22, 2018 at 23:51 | comment | added | Loewian | @Shalom I was of the understanding that maris ayin is a much broader sugya entirely - extending beyond kashrus? | |
| May 22, 2018 at 23:49 | comment | added | Loewian | @wf re see Responsa Minchat Asher 1:66 - do you happen to have a link? | |
| May 22, 2018 at 23:49 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @Loewian This doesn't look like a hamburger?? youtu.be/3d73le_auec?t=244 Common. You picked the one with beans and corn in it. Try one that's just normal looking. | |
| May 22, 2018 at 23:48 | comment | added | Loewian | @DoubleAA I would upvote an answer in which you show that indeed the OU would not certify the Impossible Burger with cheese. | |
| May 22, 2018 at 23:45 | comment | added | Loewian | @doubleAA re morningstar: media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/… doesn't look much like a cheeseburger to me | |
| May 22, 2018 at 23:43 | comment | added | Loewian | @wfb methinks you ascribe to the Forward/Haaretz a wider readership than it likely has | |
| May 22, 2018 at 23:41 | comment | added | Loewian | @DoubleAA You may indeed be right that the OU certification is only regarding packages containing only meat - though that isn't the at least literal read of the article, which seems to be actually describing a "cheeseburger". (Though I think there's a fairly solid argument to be made that a kashrus organization should not be certifying products in a manner likely to increase forbidden consumption, even if only on a precursor to the forbidden food.) | |

| May 22, 2018 at 22:24 | comment | added | Shalom | I'd heard it suggested a while ago that the gezeira as we know it was on fake (as in almond) milk; they never made one on fake meat.! | |
| May 22, 2018 at 20:48 | comment | added | wfb | "Furthermore, considering that marit ayin seems to be an issue even when one's in private (b'chadrei chadarim)" -- see Responsa Minchat Asher 1:66 | |
| May 22, 2018 at 20:44 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | How is this different from OU certification on Morningstar Farms vegetarian patties? Fake meat burgers have been around for decades. Everyone knows about them | |
| May 22, 2018 at 20:43 | comment | added | wfb | "because it is still a relatively unheard of product" he says, after quoting one (of many) articles in the media about it | |
| May 22, 2018 at 20:35 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | "shouldn't this argument no longer hold water" Who said it does hold water? The OU certifies that it is Kosher Pareve. If you cook it in a pan and the next day cook and cheese omelette then you know everything is kosher still. What you eat it with is your business. The OU has certified a product here not a restaurant serving it with cheese AFAIK. I could enjoy eating it at home and followed within the hour by ice cream. (Unless you think there is Maras Ayin for not waiting X hours after eating meat??) Or I could potentially fry it in butter which won't be noticeable in the end product | |
