UPDATE: REFRESH Fruits of Brooklyn- They need some major changes in their quality of checking-

CRC put out an alert before Pesach that all romaine is much more infested that usual, including Andy Boy Hearts.

The ORB (Florida hashgocha) put out the CRC alert on the first day of Chol Hamoed, while giving a Pesach hashgocha to many hotel, many caterers, etc. without being aware that it's heavily infested.

Shocked? NO- the ORB is consistent. 

It is suggested that everyone should do a cursory check prior to use.

Rabbi Eisen of the 5 Towns Vaad is very much at fault, single handedly has brought down the quality of kashrus in the entire industry of infestation, etc.

CRC ALERT: Romaine heaviy infested- Therefore, Buy only the Positive or kosher Garden brands

March 25, 2021

 

Please be advised that in recent days we have been finding romaine lettuce to be more infested than usual.  In particular, we have been finding more thrips than would be expected. 

Accordingly, extra care and diligence should be used when preparing romaine lettuce for the Seder.  The “thrip cloth method” (https://www.crcweb.org/askcrc/Thripcloth.php)  remains effective, but the procedure may have to be repeated several times to remove all insects.  

An alternative method is to separate the leaves, soak them in soapy water, and then rub all parts of each leaf with a sponge or scrubber. The leaves can then be used as is.

 

The above concern is, because of the unusually high levels of infestation in romaine lettuce, we have just determined that the usual washing process has not been sufficient in some instances. 

Therefore, we recommend that the whole leaf romaine lettuce be rewashed by placing the leaves into soapy water and then rinsing each leaf front and back under running water. The chopped variety may be used as is, without additional washing.

Always ask caterer, "do you use Empire"?

FYI- ONLY SOME Lakewood caterers will not use the Empire poultry.
