Question

If a fly or insect falls into a pot of soup or cereal and becomes mushy or soupy during cooking, can the soup be consumed?

Answer

Although there is no prohibition of Beria (the prohibition against eating a whole living thing visible to the naked eye) because it has become mushy or soupy, as long as the prohibition (the insect) can be recognized by touch or sight, the prohibition is not lifted when a solid falls into solid food (yavesh beyavesh) or a liquid into liquid food (lach belach), and even more so when a solid falls into a liquid. In the case of a quartered animal that is ground into a dish or into an extremely thin, liquid soup, it all depends on the type of dish and the type of prohibition it fell into.

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
