According to a few ultra-Orthodox rabbis in the holy land (Monsey, NY), Lox are no longer Kosher due to parasitic worms. You already know there will be a Schmear campaign against this.
If you keep kosher, you shouldn’t worry too much. The good thing about Judaism is that everyone has selective hearing in what they can and cannot do. After this report came out other Rabbis just put it aside and forgot about it. They had a choice. Make lox non-kosher and lose 65% of American Jews to Buddhism, or let them eat parasites. For all they know, they just saved every circumcision, bar/bat mitzva, and every other Jewish social event from having massive riots. What would the Hebrews put on their bagels?
