#1233 Deceiving Appearances
Question
Regarding the above question of kosher cultured meat, why is there no prohibition of ma’aris ayin? (wrong appearances).
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that indeed there is a valid concern for ma’aras ayin. However, once this meat has been properly marked and advertised as being “cultured,” there is no more reason to prohibit it, than there is in the case of pareve milk or soya vegetarian sausages.
