I don't understand how you can make such a blanket statement. With blueberries coming from all over the world throughout different seasons, the most you can test is several brands from several farms. With this small a sample, how can you make the statement "All blueberries are infested". The most you can say is blueberries tested during October 2012 from the following X farms were infested. This says nothing about blueberries from other farms and at other times of the year.

Why don't you allow the comment about the rav hamachshir who changes his opinions based on how he makes his money?

When he made money altz being a big machmir on checking for bugs, he mandated checking every leaf of lettuce on both sides under the light.

When he started making most of his money from foodservice, especially if he doesn't have to do any checking, he makes up a new story that mashgichim's eyes play tricks on them from repetitive looking at green leaves so there is no point to check.

Which Rav Hamachshir? G??

Is there any way to clean the blueberries?

Ponim chadoshos ba'u l'kan said...

The rav hamachshir who one rov is calling "the most dangerous man in kashrus today". Dangerous because he still has the reputation of a big machmir even after he has jumped to the complete opposite extreme. He's completely reprogrammed.

I knew things would unravel in Beantown after C.S. left. KVH can't even hold on to old reliable accounts like Baskin-Robbins anymore. They lost it to the kings of non-cholov Yisruel, Star D of Young Israel. Oh, I get it! C.S.'s new bosses are all Young Israel shul rabbis who share in that profit! Ka-tching!

Rabbi Yehuda Benchemhoun, a Lubavitcher in Crown Heights, is the enabler of all the meshugoyim who no one else will get train in shechita. He goes to the radical Hazon conferences & trains all the non-orthodox rabbis & mumarim ochlei treifos who are friends with Dokter Rabbiner Seth Mandel. According to a newspaper report, he ate the food with Seth Mandel at the Hazon conference in CT a few years ago that was under a Conservative rabbi's hashgocho. They both bragged to those attending how they chose from the menu to eat vegetarian during the voch, meat on Shabbos only.

Benchemhoun certifies a new shechita at Florida Glatt Kosher Meats, division of (treif company) Florida Fresh Meats

They hired this character to tell the public that no mashgiach is required post-shechita & to promote Benchemhoun as a veteran of major hashgocho organizations (OU?):

Bostoner Webbe,

That's why Max & Mina's ice cream parlor on Main St under the heiligger VHQ does not have proper separation between the few cholov Yisroel flavors & the roiv that is chazirye. They have to keep up with Baskin Robbins. Funding Queens Vaad / Young Israel shuls is doyche kashrus. Azoy halt men off Mertropolitan.

Once again The ICE CREAM store did not satisfy "der Kranke's Taayvos".
So close to the "Hailigah Taig" and "Er Haaked Vayter in Kup mit Shkorim".

Once again the Queens Vaad blog troll can not get his act together so to COVER UP, he attacks mit shkorim whoever points it the facts on the ground.

Ha'-"ahavaa" (Der Kranke's ENDLESS LOVE) 'iz m'kalkel es hashoora'.
Its 'ah naaches' to see.

"holier then Avraham avinu said..."

The Community Service Award at the Yeshiva Ketana dinner must really be getting to his head. I hope he doesn't start calling himself Avinu she........

Some people might have a little tayva for ice cream here & there, unlike the Vaad that can't make a meeting without running down to Tietz to fress a whole buffet spread from Chef Yossi.
