#Some poskim hold that if a Jew is selling food it is necessary to have a hechsher (supervision) from an outside source and he is not trusted even if otherwise he is a religious individual.<ref>Bet Hillel YD 65:5 explains that there's a institution of Lithuania in his day to require a hechsher in order to sell food. (This isn't an obligation according to the gemara as is evident from siman 119:14-18 that a Jew can be trusted to sell kosher meat unless he's suspect). Dor Hamelaktim (119:1, v. 11 p. 320) quotes Darkei Teshuva 119:7, Kaf Hachaim 119:4, and Teshuvot Vehanhagot 2:377 as quoting this Bet Hillel. However, they also quote Rav Nevinsal and Rav Chaim Kanievsky that it is permitted to buy from a religious Jew. They also quote Rav Sarya Debilitsky, Rav Azriel Auerbach, and Rav Zilberman who hold that it is possible to be lenient if the Jew selling is known personally to be trustworthy or the local rabbi vouches for their honesty and kashrut.</ref> | |||

#In a place where they sell non-kosher meat they can't also kosher meat that isn't marked with a clear demarcation, such as a hechsher. It doesn't help that the merchant knows which pieces are kosher and which aren't.<ref>Igrot Moshe YD 3:18</ref> | #In a place where they sell non-kosher meat they can't also kosher meat that isn't marked with a clear demarcation, such as a hechsher.
