Some people are under the impression that Ashkenazim cannot eat from the Hechsher of Badatz Beis Yosef due to the following stated reasons:

# Sefardi Shechita is unacceptable for Ashkenazim # Sefardi Halacha allows parts of the animals to be eaten that Ashkenazim cannot eat. # Badatz Beis Yosef allows in general certain heterim and Kullos that are not valid to Ashkenazim. 1) Regarding Hilchos Teraifos the Mechaber is considerably more

machmir than the Rema, and Sefardi shechita would be, if anything,

more mehudar. While the Rema does have certain chumros is Hilchos

Shechita such as forbidding hesitating during the second half of the

shechita, these should not be relevant to any experienced shochet.

2) There are certain organs that Sefardim eat and would be problematic

according to Halacha for Ashkenazim such as the udder, however this

would not be an issue with regular cuts of meat. While Sefardim did

continue doing nikur and eating the hindquarters of animals after

Ashkenazim lost the mesorah on the precise location of gid hanashe,

Today it is generally not financially worthwhile even for Sefardim and

one is unlikely to come across problematic cuts even from a Sefardi

hechsher.

3) I do not have any conclusive and authoritative information on what

kulos Badatz Beit Yosef might rely on, but if this is true it would

certainly be a problem. I don't think it is my place to judge

individual hechsherim, and certainly not in a public forum. [1] Rabbi Peretz Moncharsh, learned in the Yeshivos of Philadelphia, Brisk-R Dovid, Mir and Kollel La'asukei Shmaytsa. He currently lives in Beitar and is a Moreh Horaah on both the Ashkenazi and Sefardi Batei Horaah as well as the Rosh Kollel of Kollel Shaarei Horaah. Rabbi Moncharsh received Semicha from R' Zalman Nechenia Goldberg, R' Yaakov Tufik (the Sefaradi Rav of Beitar) and the Rabbanut. He did shimush by R' Tufik and by R' Yitzchok Kaufman.
