3. May a person eat meat on a table which contains milk foods?[1]
It is forbidden to eat meat on a table which contains milk products, or vice versa, due to the same reasons explained in Halacha 1, that we suspect one may come to eat from the milk product that is on the table. Accordingly, one may one place meat on a table that another person is using to eat milk products on.[2]
Q&A May one eat meat on a table which contains dairy utensils?[3] Yes. May a single person eat meat on a table which contains dairy or vice versa if a Heker is placed on the table [i.e. separate table cloth or unordinary item]? Some Poskim[4] rule that a reminder is invalid for a single person eating on a table which contains the opposite food, and he must rather remove the opposite food from the table or eat elsewhere. Other Poskim[5], however, rule that a reminder is valid just as we rule regarding two people eating on the same table.
May a single person eat meat on a table which contains dairy or vice versa if a person is appointed as a Shomer to prevent him from eating the opposite food? It is not considered a valid reminder to have someone stand guard [i.e. Shomer] that one does not take from the dairy foods.[6] However, if one has both a Heker on the table and appointed a guard then it is a valid reminder.[7] |
