The Forshyer Rebbe just sent out a notice to his congregants that he will not allow any "food with R' Yechiel Steinmetz's" Hashgacha in his shul....
The Forshayer is the same rabbi who continued with his Melave Malka, singing and clapping, while one of his loyal followers, who had just minutes before been stabbed in the head by a black assailant, was rushed to the hospital where he subsequently succumbed to his wounds. The Forshyer aka The Kossinyer Rebbe, defiantly kept his shul open during the entire Covid-19 pandemik. The rebbe is more concerned about some guy in his shul fressing a questionably Glatt kosher juicy steak than he is about the guy's life.
However, there was a meeting of local Monsey Rabbanim, who came to the conclusion that the Hashgacha of R' Yechiel Steinmetz or Steimets (there is a chilukei deos on how to spell his name) is worthless.. they didn't say what it was that Rav Steinmetz did wrong just that his hashgacha is worthless...
All this while restaurants are struggling to stay afloat.

This "Steinmetz" hashgacha is very popular in Monsey and has many restaurants with his hechshir. According to those who attended this meetings the rabbis pointed out that they had many lengthy discussions with him and asked him to correct many of the "violations" but he ignored their advice ..
So just like the BLM leaders brought gigantic companies down to their knees so will these rabbis now destroy the "Steinmetz" Hashgacha in one fell swoop...
Unless he served treif and there is no evidence that the restaurants under his hashgacha did ... he should be able to stay in business... after all he doesn't have to kow tow to R Rottenberg ..he can have his own standards ...but so far there is no further info..
