what if I'm at a non- kosher work event and they have a fruit platter out can I eat from the fruit really is an interesting question because on the one hand we know that it didn't come from a certified place and the concern over here is that even though it's just fruit it was cut with a non- kosher knife the concern is that there could be residue that remained on the knife even though knives usually appear clean but we're required to be concerned that there might be a tiny amount left on the knife that can smear onto the side of the fruit however is that if a large amount of fruit was cut then we could assume even if a little bit of it got onto some of the fruit it would be nullified in the majority if this is a large platter of fruit then even if some of them let's say five or six of them would have gotten the smear of the N kosher on it we could assume that in the majority of them it's okay and therefore you're actually permitted to eat from them so strictly speaking it is permissible to eat from these fruit however you know sometimes people avoid it because it could be considered like a marsan therefore one has to be careful what they choose to eat at these type of places
