Here are a number of comments on the issue: 1) There is no aplication of 'sofek' (doubt) on 'yayin nessech'. 2) 'Yayeen nesech' is not 'bottel' (nullified) even if it's 1/1000 parts (ie. never mivootul) 3) On the other hand, I could argue that since it is in the form of ink, then it is not 'rahooi la'achilut kelev' (fit for the consumption of a dog) and therefore not considered food and therefore not treif. 4) Therefore , because of the above, I would ask a Rav. -- Eli Posner {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!utcsstat!rao
