One opinion says it is only brought if the presence of a forbidden item is established. The other opinion says even if it is not established. Which way do we hold and why?

The Kesef Mishneh in Hilchos Shegagos (8:2) explains that the Rambam Paskens that one is Patur from a Korban if the presence of a forbidden item is not established, as most of the sages quoted in the Gemara follow that opinion.
All the best,
