#118 - Working as kitchen help (no cooking) in a non-Kosher Kitchen

Question

What if a person was to work in a capacity other than cooking in a kitchen, say mixing cold meat and milk together?

Answer

Poiskim recommend avoiding being hired as a chef in a non-kosher kitchen that prepares food even if only for Gentiles, as he may partake from it while working or may cook meat and milk together. (Yabia Omer Y.D. 4,6 – Yalkut Yosef, Isur Veheter 4,6). Mixing cold meat and milk together without cooking it, is not prohibited, even if it is left for more than twenty four hours.
