#The Rabbis established that it is not permitted to (buy and) eat any meat that a non-Jew has in their possession, even if all the meat stores and slaughterhouses in the area are Kosher. This is even true if it is known that the non-Jew bought the meat from a Jew, because of Basar Shenitalem Min Haayin.<ref>Shach Y.D. 118:5, Chochmat Adam Klal 27:12</ref> However, there are some that disagree with the last point, and believe that if it is known that the non-Jew bought the meat originally from a Jew, then it is okay to (buy and) eat, if there was no way for the non-Jew to switch the meat.<ref>see the Shach Y.D. 118:5 who quotes the Levush who is Meikil</ref> | |||
