cleaning cabbage from insects

Tropicana- Is it kosher?

Tropicana- Is it kosher?
It has scale insects, lac bug, etc

All the containers checked by the Lab were with the OK on it.

Is "pizza" a snack or a meal? Reb Moshe's Psak stands- less than 2 slices is not a meal.

A slice of Pizza may be a snack or a meal, depending of the make-up of the Pizza. There were Governmental studies done re: above question. The Governmental studies concluded that most children will eat pizza as a meal not a snack.
P 42 & 82 of the study says it was with beans & other filling.
http://healthymeals.nal.usda.gov/hsmrs/Wisconsin/cacfp-menu-planning.pdf
One must bear in mind the study was done on non-kosher style pizza. Non-kosher pizza commonly contains Mozzarella cheese & Peperoni, or A mix of beans & cheese a very filling slice of pizza.

On the other hand the kosher style pizza compared to the non-kosher is like the thin cows in Pharoh's dream, therefore it is consumed as a snack not a meal.

Which supermarkets have qualified indviduals for checking & removing infestation?

Evergreen- Monsey, NY





Gourmet Glatt- Five Towns, NY



Gourmet Glatt- Brooklyn, NY






Seasons- 
Lawrence, NY (only)


Update: Another Supermarket is working diligently in having their Mashgichim trained properly.

The only reason to still use the Lakewood Matzah bakery is to get your picture in the paper! (with the plastic apron)

Pesach Machine Matzos - solving the chometz issue!

All Pesach Machine Matzos can solve the chometz issue,

By having the entire oven the same temperature at all times.

UPDATE: (All) current Machine-Matzos may indeed be problematic for Pesach, serious chometz issues

Don't use the machine matzos from "Yad-Binyomin", Matzos Yehuda (Aida, KAJ), Halpern, Rishon, Aviv, Hadar, Geulah, Streits, Manishewitz, etc.

There is only "1" one pesach machine matzo bakery  Beit Shemesh- Chaburah, Israel that  does NOT have the chometz problems, as it is all the same temperature the whole way. It is therefore a shorter oven in length.  The USA Importer is Reb Yaakov Charlop, from Queens-917-453-6421

 ALL MACHINE MATZO BAKERIES CAN CORRECT THE "CHOMETZ" ISSUES BY HAVING  THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE OVEN THE "SAME-TEMPERATURE".

Others have made machine matzos at Beit Shemesh but used certain unacceptable leniencies. Only use the Beit Shemesh Chaburah Matzos under Rav Gross Chanechei Hayeshivas.

 Reb משה שטרנבוך in חלק ד' דף צ'also seems very concerned about the use of machine Matzos on Pesach.  Reb Yonason Steif Z"L was also concerned about these machine matzos.

The Matzos is on a wide mesh and the baking is from the heated air temperature, not from direct contact with the stone or brick oven floor.
The ovens commonly used are known as "cracker-ovens". Ther are not at all like the ones that were used years ago which were relativly short ovens, and the dough was in direct contact with the hot stone or metal floor.

A cracker oven is usually some 100 feet long with a minimum of 3 stages. 1st stage is what is called "spring", because the internal dough temperature at this stage is low enough that the natural yeast or Gluten does not die & the dough can rise or spring.

The 2nd stage is a high temperature of short duration, and it gives color to top & bottom. At this stage the interior is still wet.

The 3rd stage is the longest stage of a lower temperature that "dries" (not bake) the interior of the Matzoh.

 

Any Machine Matzos should "not" be used on Pesach

NOTE: The Shteif / Viener machine matzos were not like todays Oven- See Teshuvahs

Reb משה שטרנבוך in חלק ד' דף צ' also seems very concerned about the use of machine Matzos on Pesach.

Tropicana: Is the "OK" being truthful?

The "OK" says, sure Tropicana Juice may have insects but not the ones with the "OK"!

 

 The Lab Checked the ones with the "OK"and found that indeed they have insects.

 

It's not OK to have insects in OK Certified juice!

 

 

The OK also was not truthful either re: The Shufra Cocoa for Pesach from China.

 

Tropicana Orange Juice may contain "Scale-insects"

---

Please be aware that Tropicana Orange Juice may contain "scale insects".

We don't think Tropicana cares that consumer don't want insects in your morning Orange Juice, I guess Tropicana Orange juice is out.

Most prefer not to get their protein from Juice, but from fish, poultry, etc.
You can email Tropicana at- pepsico@casupport.com

Please be aware that Tropicana Brand Orange Juice with Omega 3 contains-Fish  and should not be used together with meat or poultry.

Tropicana Ruby Red Grapefruit juice  their distinctive colors comes from crushed female cochineal beetles.

The Heiligeh Lakewood Matzo Bakery is doing what??? I can't believe it.

It's sad when the only thing to look for in a matzo bakery is "chaburah"
חבורה= מכה הכתובה בתורה!! וכו

Why would one want chaburah matzos?

One should opt for at least matzos, acceptably kusher according to his own standards.

 

It may be "mehudar" to take hand matzos off the shelf in some reliable bakeries.

The reliable matzo bakeries in NY also accommodate "chaburas".

Hopefully the chaburas know something about a matzo Bakery.

UPDATE: The yeshivish Matzah bakery ? The "oilum" is gullible, we'll tell them we are doing .....and the fools will believe us, & we'll do what we want, it's all $$$$$$$

The Bakery is fully convinced they can continue in fooling the gullible oilum. If this would be their last lie, I might be fooled in believing them also.

Whoever uses them are not bigeder "oinis" but a "maizid".

Oats are heated or steamed to remove the bitterness. It's a very big concern for Pesach, They must kasher the entire bakery after making the Oat Matzos.

There is a Pesach Matzah Bakery very much utilized by Chaburas, Roshei Yeshiva, Yeshiva Leit etc.

One very prominent Rosh Yeshiva with his chaburah realized lo and behold, they are putting in matzos into the oven even after the 18 minute deadline. When the owner was confronted, he responded "Oh! we put those aside for our lubavitch customers" (they allow up to 21-22 minutes).

The Rosh Yeshiva observed that those Matzos actually were being packed in with his Chaburas Matzos. He was shocked by the revelation. Reb Dovid Feinstein, Shlita when asked, responded "it's definitely not Mehudar"-Matzos. To his family allegedly he said, I wouldn't use the Matzos.

The Rav Hamach$hir wa$ not concerned in the $lightest. Is it the money, ....... or something else?

One can come to his own conclusions as what happens by Non-Chaburah Matzos.

If one wants to use that Matzah Bakery, he should insist that  they kasher the ovens, the paddles that used to remove the 22 minute matzos, etc

They also produce Oat-Matzos, which has their own pesach concerns. They "MUST" kasher the entire Matzah bakery after making the Oat Matzos?

All of the Rabonim named on the Matzos may not realize the seriousness of the matter.

Do Chaburas & Roshei yeshiva have on their Chabuarah any experts in the practical part of baking matzos.
Chaburah?, may not be the solution, it may be the problem
חבורה, מכה הכתובה בתורה

UPDATE: "Bodek" fruit & vegetables co. must change their hashgocha

"Bodek" fruit & vegetables co. must change their hashgocha.

They have an unacceptable standard re? infestation.

Hisachdus CRC might eventually come around and have properly trained mashgichim for infestation.

The other certifier should be dropped completely, as they will not change and their standard is not acceptable at all by any of the Halachic authorities..

Their spinach, strawberries, broccoli, garni bags, were found to contain infestation.

Scallions "UNCHECKED"? by "Hisachdus-Monsey" & OK

'Scallions "UNCHECKED"? by "Hisachdus Harabunim Monsey" & OK.
In Raskin's Herring they are using unchecked scallions?

Whoever knew of a Hisachdus Harabonim in Monsey?

In response to the many inquiries re: infestation checking in the Five Towns

As far as we were able to ascertain at this time, there is the Glatt Gourmet supermarket that has a qualified trained mashgiach in charge of checking and cleaning fruits & vegetables from infestation. Therefore the items marked in Glatt Gourmet (5 Towns) are acceptable.

Other Eateries, restaurants, foodservice, supermarkets are not acceptable at this time. Some of them claim to have a Mashgiach that comes in to check. Those individuals are not trained properly and are therefore not qualified for the task.

The truth behind "HOSPICE"!!

Hisachdus replaces OU full time mashgiach with a Heimish one in chocolate factory

Hisachdus replaces OU full time mashgiach with a "Heimish" Mashgiach in chocolate factory.
The OU had a full time mashgiach in the Chocolate manufacturing facility. While there he also supervised the Hisachdus productions. He was there from the beginning of  production till the packing.

Hisachdus wanted a Heimish Mashgiach. The Mashgiach is there only sometimes. Hisachdus defines
Heimish_ a mashgiach that sits in der "Heim", not at the job.

Scandall:Hisachdus CRC-No Heimish Certifiers will accept Hisachdus's "imitation butter flavor" for pesach?- A chutzpah to refuse Hisachdus CRC ingredients!!! (about time)

Hi$achdu$ CRC- Joins with Israeli "Rabanut" for pe$ach ha$hgocha

Hi$achdu$ CRC- Joins with Israeli "Rabanut" for pe$ach ha$hgocha.
The Citric acid used in Hisachdus CRC chocolate including Peasch is under the "Rabanut" (zionizm)
manufactured on Shabbos in a Jewish Company.

The Cheshbon is Poshut, with the Aida not on Shabbos is more expensive. If it's made on Shabbos Nobody could check up if the Mashgiach came. The Rabanut did not send a Mashgiach on Shabbos. Hisachdus didn't bother sending one either, but they must've charged for one.

It's all a matter of dollars, the Hashgocha business.

Advise for investors

מאת סוחר

1. אם אמרו לך "אל תגיד לאף אחד" או "זה סוד" - ברח מיד מהעסקה.
2. כל ההבטחות בנוסח "רווחים בטוחים", "אפס סיכונים", הן במקרה הטוב דמיונות.
3. הבטחות על "רווחים גדולים" הם דמיונות או רמאות (דברים כאלו יכולים להתרחש רק בעסקאות סמים או נשק ולשם כך הם לא צריכים אותך).
4.  זכור, הרוצה לשקר ירחיק הצעתו (מברכים את בעה"ב שיהיו נכסיו קרובים לעיר).
5. השקעות המוצעות בעיתונים בפיתויי פרסומות או מודעות קטנות, מדורגות מחשודות מאוד ועד וודאי רמאות.
6. אם מצאת סתירה. חור או טיוח בדבריו של מציע העסקה או משפט בנוסח "אתה לא תבין", הוא רמאי.
7. אף פעם אל תשקיע אצל אברך צעיר בשנות העשרים.
8. גם סוחר ידוע שפתאום מציע השקעות כנראה נקלע לקשיים ומנצל את הרקורד והשם שלו.
9. לעולם תברח ממטאור פתאומי שמתחיל לתת סכומים גדולים לצדקה או נוסע ברכב יוקרתי.
10.אם מעורב בעסקה אפילו אדם אחד מפוקפק, לא משנה באיזו צורה, ברח ממנה מיד. אל תחשוב שתרוויח יחד עמו מאיזה רמאות, מעילה או גניבה. הוא יגנוב אותך.
11.מי שצריך להגיע למשקיעים קטנים כמוך, הוא בקשיים.
12.גם אם אחרים כבר הרוויחו ממנו, זו עדיין "ההשקעה שלו" או בתהליך ההסתבכות שלו.
13.אם יש טעויות בחוזה בכתיב או בכללי הכתיבה (גם זניחות) באנגלית, אין צורך לחקור יותר.
14.אין השקעה בלי מסמכים, אין תורה שבעל פה בעסקים.
15.אל תחתום עסקה בלי עורך דין אמין מטעמך ולא עו"ד שהוא מציע. לא כל עו"ד מבין ויודע מה לבדוק.
16.לעולם אל תחתום לפני שיעברו כמה ימים אפילו אם "העסקה בוודאי תברח לך". לפחות הכסף ישאר אצלך.
17.אל תעשה עסקה שאשתך שוללת אותה.
18.אף פעם אל תעשה שום עסקה בלי להתייעץ עם מבין בעניין שאין לו אינטרסים: רב, רבי, ידיד טוב (הוא בוודאי יפסול בצדק 90 אחוז מההצעות)
19.אם רבך שלל עם נימוק, אין הנימוק צריך להיות נכון, עצם השלילה הוא הנכון (לא תמיד הוא יכול להגיד לך את הנימוק האמיתי)
20.סוחרים (משחקים, מהמרים) במניות בבורסה - התרחק מהם בכל מישור שהוא.
21.אנשים עם "מידע פנימי" על "מניה פלונית" שבויים באמונות מוטעות. אם זה נכון, אינם צריכים אותו ואותך.
22.חשב אם יכול להיות: בהשקעה של 20 אלף דולר שלך. עד שהכסף מגיע ליעד, דרך הסוכן וסוכן המשנה וכו', נשארים עשרת אלפים דולר לעצם ההשקעה. אם הצפי הוא 100 אחוז, כלומר 40 אלף דולר,הוא להרוויח 400 אחוז (שכן לעסק הגיע רק 10 אלפים דולר). כל זה אחרי מסים (40 -35 אחוז), היטלים, החלפות מטבע, הוצאות ניהול משרד,רו"ח, עורכי דין ורווחים ש'הסוחר הגדול' צריך להרויח. כלומר בלא פחות  מ- 800 אחוז. האם זה יכול להיות?

It's all about "control", & Money, Kesef, Dinero, shekalim, etc

How is possible that Wiesner puts his holy BMG hechsher in two places which each have a terribly Pritzusdika shiksa to greet people and literally show off their bodies.  It is disgusting and a terrible boosha for Lakewood.

I went to both places with my husband and he literally can't take the image out of his head and he is a chosheva yungermaan.
He went to Reb ..... and told him to stop this TODAY

Weisner is going to have real tzoris happen to him for allowing this issur chomer to continue

We have ten yungerleit with signs that are each putting up signs near Weisners house tonite to protest

Deena who's family is suffering=

KCL is deceiving the Gullible Tzibur.
