# Sometimes, a food may be eaten raw but is a tafel to the main food which has a concern of bishul akum (not eaten raw). The question is if the food eaten as a tafel is subject to the halachos of bishul akum.  The rules here follow the same rules as berachos. A food which is mixed to the same degree where it is considered mixed in regard to the halachos of berachos would not be permitted because of bishul akum. For example, if peas (edible raw) are mixed with other food then there would be a bishul akum concern for the peas as well.<ref>Refer to OU document A-131. </ref>

# According to Sephardim, there is what to rely on to eat in a restaurant or hotel with Ashkenazic hashgacha that only makes sure that a Jew turns on the fire but not that a Jew is involved in the cooking.<ref>Rav Ovadyah Yosef in Yachava Daat 5:54 and Yabia Omer YD 9:6</ref>
