If falafel was fried in schnitzel oil, does it become meat?
If falafel was fried in schnitzel oil, does it become meat?
Question
Shalom and thank you,
If I ate falafel, which is completely pareve, but in a meat place where, in the same falafel-frying oil, schnitzels or other meat foods may also be fried, do I need to wait 6 hours before I may eat a dairy food?
Thank you
Answer
Shalom and blessing
It should be clarified whether they indeed fry the falafel in the same oil in which the schnitzel was fried (which does not seem very likely). If they do fry the falafel in the schnitzel oil, one should wait six hours.
With blessings,
