Needing help with an Hallacha
Raulmarrio2000:
I am a Gentile. Some food products sold here for the general population, sometimes, have a Kosher Seal. Would it be a sin, or an offense to the Jwish People, if I happen to eat them together with non-Kosher food, or in a non-Kosher recipient, or if I happen to eat a kosher-dairy product with or after having just eaten meat, or viceversa? For example I was about to prepare a cup of coffee after dinner, some powder susbstitute for cream has a Kosher Seal, I was about to use it, but I had just eaten some meat hamburguers, so I had my coffee alone. What's the Hallacha for that cases? I know we don't need to keep Kosher, but perhaps it would be an offense to use a sealed kosher product in the wrong way.
Tag-MehirTzedek:
No problem at all. The Kosher symbol is just an indication that the product is Kosher nothing inherent about it.
muman613:
I agree with Tag... There is nothing magical about Kosher food and the hecsher which is labelled on the product. It is a method used to tell Jews that the food meets the requirements of Kashrut of that organization (For example OU or Circle-K, etc.) Non-Jews have no need to be concerned about the Kashrut of the food.
The only thing is that a Jew who eats Kosher food is performing a Mitzvah (Commandment of the Torah) while a non-Jew eating the very same food does not perform the mitzvah.

Not to divert it, but I dont think its a mitzva if a Jew eats it. Its a Avera if a Jew eats non-kosher and only a Mitzva at times when a Jew is obligated to eat (ex- day before Yom Kippur) or Shabbat and holidays but never-the-less not overindulge.
Ephraim Ben Noach:
If born Jewish... Is it a sin to not eat kosher? If so, how bad?
