# Some poskim permit feeding one's non-Jewish workers non-Kosher food, while others forbid this.<ref>Rama 117:1 is strict but Shach 117:3 is lenient. Kaf Hachaim 117:12 cites those who are lenient and those who are strict. Pri Chadash 117:3 is also lenient and implies that as long as one doesn't buy non-kosher animals to raise them to feed to his workers it is permitted. Pri Toar 117:3 is strict on feeding one's workers with non-kosher food. However, he answers the Pri Chadash's proof by explaining that telling working that they can buy whatever non-kosher food they want and he'll pay the bill since he didn't buy it and then give it to them. Aruch Hashulchan YD 117:19 says the minhag is like the Shach.</ref> | # Some poskim permit feeding one's non-Jewish workers non-Kosher food, while others forbid this.<ref>Rama 117:1 is strict but Shach 117:3 is lenient.

# Some poskim forbid working in a store that sells non-kosher, while others permit it.<Ref>Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh, Yoreh Deah 117:72 quotes the Chatom Sofer 2:106, Bet Shlomo 192, Kol Eliyahu YD 27, and Chesed Lavraham 9 forbid a Jew from working in a store which sells non-kosher foods. However, Shoel Umeishiv 3:122, Maharsham 1:126, Tuv Taam Vdaat 3:5, Zivchei Tzedek 117:46, Yad Yosef 83, and Mitzvat Kehuna 36 lenient. Yeriyot Shlomo 19 is lenient on anything besides pig. Yad Shalom 12 says that there's extra room to be lenient if the non-kosher food is packaged. Kaf Hachaim concludes that we can be lenient as the Maharam Chalavah Pesachim 23a is a proof to be lenient.</ref> | # Some poskim forbid working in a store that sells non-kosher, while others permit it.<Ref>Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh, Yoreh Deah 117:72 quotes the Chatom Sofer 2:106, Bet Shlomo 192, Kol Eliyahu YD 27, and Chesed Lavraham 9 forbid a Jew from working in a store which sells non-kosher foods.
