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.

Don't complain if you see it for sale in Gourmet Glatt.

Who knows what kind of reaction you could get, like getting clocked in the face, chalila!

The Eisen comment was really REALLY necessary.
It was so necessary so that now the readers will take it more seriously.. As in serious motzee shem rah and/or loshon horah. Probably a bit of nekamah (For who knows what shtus) included as a bonus.

One of the local heimishe supermarkets has been purposely clearing out their chometz garbage that due to expiration dates is not even viable as chometz - to sneak on to Pesach orders for home delivery - hoping that enough customers won't notice to make it worth their while! These are items that are difficult for busy consumers to see the chiluk tzevishen the chometz & Pesachdik packagings.

For those who do notice, they give you absurd, insulting excuses how it happened. The metzius however is there is no "accident" even al ydei the Mexicans because the store did not implement safeguards to prevent it. It's also with way too many items for the bogus excuse to hold any water.

Then for the nisht farshloffena customers they give you the run around when you demand they fix it. They basically slap you in the face in mumbling they are too busy to take care of the problem. They also cause other problems until they finally pick it up. Grada interressant how they insist on picking up even expired, spoiling perishables that are illegal to restock even when unexpired! It's part shtick to deny you a refund if you already threw it out, and part shtick to find a new paying sucker. They might be making double profit because they don't seem interested in refunding the first round of victims either.

This supermarket which has otherwise been the biggest culprit of genayvishe kuntzen during the pandemic will be identified here after Yomtov whether or not they end up issuing refunds for this spoiled chometz scam.

Rabbi Eisen wasn't strong enough to stand up to the bandits who pose as the 5 Town pulpit rabbis & hold a gun to his head to be mechanef their gourmand members.

The so called rabbonim are the bigger culprits. At least Rabbi Eisen warns bnei Torah it's not their standard. And Rabbi Eisen alerted the adam gadol R' Elya Rominek, who was moyche against the pulpiteers & RER also tried to get the gedolei Eretz Yisroel to make a tummel, flying out there for that purpose.

Rabbi Eisen is no sleazy tool who will do or so anything corrupt, unlike the shvantz at a neighboring hashgocho.

The Eisen comment might be due to the fact that there is a shaychus here. V'hamaiven Having.

Yu got it wrong, Rabbi Eisen is the DON of the 5 town's (53) Rabbonim, he is a fraudster blaming the Rabbonim, while he leads the Rabbonim on a "leash", yes a leash.

He has and is the biggest hinderance to real kashrus while playing the "frum card".

La Kosher Nostra said...

Rabbi Eisen is employee of the pulpit rabbis with at-will employment whereby they can fire him & certainly they're not mechuyev to renew his contract. They only renew him because he is machniya enough to their liking.

To say that Rabbi Eisen bullies his own bosses as if he is the boss, is beyond pathetic!

They are the mafia for threatening Rabbi Eisen. They threatened him in writing which Rav Rominek ztl was mayid he read the threats & which he loudly complained about for the last years of his life.

Love this self proclaimed “Shoiter” or is it Shoiteh in this case.
This shoiteh decided what actually occurred and now threatens them “unless you do it my way”.
Nu Nu. This is the right address for these kinds.

Just post what you think or know about the product everything is ‘postivly’ not nogaiah.

Shkoiach for your ‘BIG MITZVAH’dik’ point of view which may or may not be true.
But one thing is for sure - you are machshil thousands by posting your ‘frimmeh’ opinion - and it nothing more then that.

Rabbi Eisen is the de-facto boss, not the other Rabbis.
He is in total control and in charge of all of those Rabbis.
They do love him, because he is in their eyes a SECULAR CHAREIDI shrouded in a veil of "frumie".

It's time to wake up and smell the coffee.

"Talking about shventz...."

The Queens Vaad gets soooo touchy over any remez to their shameful darchei timtum!

If you would behave & stop being machshil the rabim with your bald lies & trickery, there wouldn't be any need to point out you guys are worse than anything Eisen & the 5 Towns rabbis have done.

The thought that Horav Y....Shlit”a is bullying manufacturers and has his henchmen, such as unemployed and unwilling to work CooCooGarden,
to do all the dirty work for him, never occurred to you.
All those nasty verbs applied to all the non cooperating manufacturers and or their supervising agencies began right here with the boss Reb Y....giving the signal to go get them in any and every way.
Their come back is always the same: they lie
- they mislead - they stam feed non kosher.
If that don’t work they try to accuse them of false personal misdeeds and or stam childish accusations. If they are true or not is not considered at all.
Welcome to the oldie farce club.

How strange.
Yudel has no successful hashgachas and all other Rabbonim are very successful.
Can you guess why???

I check ANdy Boys every year, for my own use. And I found much more this year than ANY other year

Anonymous said...

You know why!?!

Because he will only certify kosher. That's not good for this business.

Ask GG Five Towns, or Aisle 9 in Lakewood why they buy Refresh products. (Some re-brand them). It is because Refresh is the only company which is consistent and can always fill their orders.

For example, nobody was able to clean kale in the past few weeks. It was infested. But Refresh had it the entire time!! They are the only ones who are consistent, so they make the $$.

There is also a reason why they are always consistent. That is because they are selling infested product. In this industry, it is impossible to always have every product. There are better seasons and worse seasons.

And that is how Refresh was caught.

The stores knew about it, and didn't care. They need the product to sell, and nobody else was able to fill their orders.

The checker at Refresh also knew about it, but he needed the money.

They are trying to clean up the operation there. But that did not happen until Reb Yudel went public about it.


Anonymous said...

So now that Reb Yudel went public and all is good, as you imply, why is the Refresh post still up???
Obviously it’s only a story to terrorize establishments that he hates.
Not only that, he must MUSTtake a swipe not only on the hashgacha but also at checker AND accuse him of purposely letting go because of Money.
That’s not how our gedoilim and Poskim go about issues. Not here and not in Israel.
So stop with your excuses and stam abusing people.
It just proves what your real motives are. And it’s not positive in any which way.

Reb Yudel did not mention the checker by name. He only mentioned a rav hamachshir who is keeping this checker in business and promoting his products.

The checker himself happens to be a pretty good mumcha in tolaim, who was trained very well. However, the shoichad $$$ was y'aveir and he is selling products which he knows are infested. He was caught by more than one person, including by the hashgacha which officially certifies him. (He was caught by them as a direct result of this post. It caused them to do a better checking on their own, as opposed to being soimech on the checker who is profiting from this.)

Although I do not know Reb Yudel's intentions, I do understand why this post is still up.

It is true that this post caused awareness, however the "bad guy" checker is still the primary checker, and is still on site running the business. Those that know him, and those that trained him are in shock and say this checker "went off" somewhere. Until he is fired, this post should be pinned on top. Someone who is not a yarei shomayim and was already machshil thousand of people, has no place being a boideik for tolaim.

So he is a good checker that lets insects through into the finished product.
So what makes him a good checker?

Last but not least:
I totally agree that this site started and run by Reb Yudel has brought a tremendous awareness of kashrus into the oilom haToirah and far beyond.
Not only in the food industry but in many other “kashrus” areas.
However, the style of getting personal, mentioning names (for any reason), not taking ‘other’ pesakim into consideration and stam other non essential details are totally unnecessary and borders on many other halachic issues. Although an attempt to “kasher” these issues are always promoted here (which really goes against what this site stands for) the fact remains that if any food item had these kind of “hetairim” Reb Yudel would go “ballistic” on anyone relying on such hetairim. So why would this site rely on such hetairim for other halachic issues?
Hence this site is a bit a “stirah minay ubay”.
Bottom line : Go Reb Yudel Go....

Chronicles of an OU mashgiach said...

The OU mashgiach is back to his old original tricks when he first made a splash on these pages, in the shanim kadmoniyos. Because R' Yudel is on to a REAL and PRESENT DANGER perpetrated by 'establishment' kashrus bums, the mashgiach starts carpet bombing to drown it out by attacking R' Yudel's credibility & creating a conspiracy, that R' Yudel is supposedly in cahoots with alleged 'nebichels'.

Most if not all of the 'anti' scribbling is compliments of yener OU mashgiach.

“first made a splash on these pages”

It’s a good thing the Mashgiach is not assigned to any OU division with kemach lematzos because the bigger & heavier the splashers are, the more water they displace when jumping in a body of water, into a wider splash zone!
