Message-ID: <121@mi-cec.UUCP> Date: Tue, 19-Jul-83 14:44:45 EDT Article-I.D.: mi-cec.121 Posted: Tue Jul 19 14:44:45 1983 Date-Received: Thu, 21-Jul-83 20:05:35 EDT Lines: 13 Kosher applies to more than just food. It is forbidden, for instance to use the same set of dishes, silverware, serving items, etc. with both milk and meat. At a camp I once went to, the milk dishes were one color and the meat dishes were another, as were the parve dishes; the milk and meat silverware had a different color stripe on the bottom or something like that (it was about seven years ago...). Not being fully familiar with all the kosher laws, I don't know how it could apply to laundry detergent, but it would not surprise me to see (U) on some rather unexpected items. -Dave Aronson idis!mi-cec!dja da2p%cmcctd@cmuc
