In regard to hou2a!zev 's question about the relevance of 'grape juice'
in stamps used on meat.
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.
