As someone who used to shop in the Machene Yehuda Basher weekly, this is not a surprise.
I don't keep kashrut and the majority of local customers were not observant. But I'd see observant appearing groups of tourists taken there all the time. I think that a number of tourists treat the entire shuk as though it operates under one giant certification - but buyer definitely beware. Especially at the restaurants/cafes.
