Question:
Hello,
I am now learning and observing more laws. If I used to buy food before washing three times, is the food still ok to eat? For example, I bought peanut butter, chocolate, frozen vegetables before knowing the law. Are they ok?
Thank you very much
Answer:
Hello,
If you touched the actual food (not the container), if possible, the food should be washed off 3 times. If washing the food will ruin it, nothing has to be done and the food is ok to consume.
Wishing you much success
