Question
Hello,
I work in an office with both religious and secular women.
One of the employees is not Jewish.
Is there a problem with placing a container with meat dishes in the shared refrigerator?
Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello
There is no issue with non-Jews touching meat, and the discussion is only about the concern of replacing it with non-kosher meat.
When there is no benefit in replacing, there is no concern. Therefore, generally, in the described case, there is no concern.
Even if there is a concern of replacement for various reasons, usually cooked meat has signs, such as seasoning and method of preparation, and in such a case, there is no concern of replacement by non-Jews.
