It was a disaster waiting to happen, and the finally-added Kosher is not enough to avoid another Michshol R”L.

He asked the Yeshivas Mashgiach, what kashrus he should use in Eretz Yisroel as he’s originally from Lakewood. “If You ate from the local Hashgocha”? so be mehadar and eat Rabanut Mehadrin.

There are 2 restaurants called ‘kingston pizza’ one kosher one not. What makes it worse is that if you call up the non kosher one they will tell you it’s kosher and they even know all the yeshiva addresses to offer you delivery making them sound ligit

Ask your LOR about cleaning help and meat in your fridge. It happened and I was so concerned. Our Rav said, in my own house it’s not a problem

In general every kosher establishment doubles seals food delivered. If the seal is broken it becomes forbidden to eat.

This came an issue for us a while back. When after shopping at a local supermarket and requesting delivery. When delivered – The meats did not have any seals. When we brought this up with the manager he spoke to a Rav, and they started sealing all the meat packaging. Thus ensuring everyone’s eating Halachikly kosher meat… remember that even meats in your refrigerator can become a problem if no ones around when cleaning help or the like is alone!

Even those of us who live in frum communities need to educate our children to look for The hashgacha on any item we purchase. Even in a local kosher establishment.

The Lakewood Hashgocha commonly has Shabbos affairs with no Mashgiach or Jew present at all.

They even had recently at a high end Shabbos Sheva Brochos, the worker realized they forgot to make schnitzel for the day meal, so he went on Shabbos took his own set of keys and made fresh schnitzel on Shabbos, it was all verified via the cameras.
