I, 30-31, Rav Moshe Feinstein was asked a question if it is permitted to soak livers in water in order to make them look more appealing to potential customers. Rav Moshe responded that there is no concern that the customer is being overcharged for extra weight that the liver absorbs because the person is able to see what he is getting. Rav Moshe also responded that this does not constitute gneivat daat for multiple reasons. Submerging the liver in water is not necessarily going to make the liver look freshly slaughtered. Additionally, Rav Moshe stresses that a customer has the responsibility to inquire about the objects origin and current condition. (Ideas from Rabbi Ari Wasserman)</ref> | ||
