cRc Kashrus Alert- Tevilas Keilim

May 20, 2019, 2018 from the cRc:

Some kitchen equipment, such as knives, state on the package that "tevillas keilim is not required". This claim is made based on an assumption that the metal which the knife was made from - was manufactured and always owned by a Jew. If however, the retail store selling the knife is owned by a non-Jew or a partnership of a Jew and non-Jew, the requirement for tevillas keilim applies despite the label stating otherwise. The cRc has learned of such items being sold in Supermarkets that despite the label stating tevillas keilim is not required, now that it went through the ownership of such stores, there is indeed a requirement for tevilla.
