Instead of kashrut inspectors? Following the spread of the coronavirus, the Chief Rabbinate is considering placing cameras in meat factories around the world from which meat is imported to Israel.
A document submitted today (Tuesday) to the High Court of Justice and revealed by Kan News states that, due to the spread of the virus, the Chief Rabbinate has been unable to operate the system for supervising the slaughter of meat abroad in recent months, through inspectors on its behalf.
The Rabbinate notes that the difficulties arise, among other things, due to aviation restrictions and the existence of various strict restrictions in the countries where the factories are located.
Among the detailed restrictions: the existence of a lockdown and other movement restrictions, the application of various restrictions or entry bans, high morbidity figures, exposing supervisors to the risk of infection, the application of mandatory isolation, and additional restrictions.
For these reasons, the document claims, the Rabbinate is considering requiring the placement of cameras throughout factories abroad in a way that will allow it to remotely supervise what is happening in the factory in terms of kashrut.
