The Effect of Mistakenly Eating Foods in which Shmitah Applies,
and its Remedy
In an answer to a specific family that was suffering from a medical issue, the Rebbe responded:

When they received the answer, they asked how to start checking into this, as they are generally careful to only buy products with Mehudar Hechsherim. The Rebbe responded:
עבודת ה ' בשמחה (שפורצת גם גדר דשגיאות מי יבין).
