Beware of beetles!
Most people don't
order salads with a side of beetles, but some are getting them regardless.
Consumerist recently reported that several consumers have found Iron Cross Blister Beetles in packaged organic
salads. Yuck!
What do you do if a
bug of any kind makes an appearance in your food?
Iron Cross Blister
Beetles
Most of the time, bugs
and other foreign objects in food are gross but usually harmless.
However, the Iron
Cross Blister Beetle can be toxic. When stressed, the beetles release a toxin
call cantharidin. While the substance isn't exactly fatal, in can cause nausea
and sickness in healthy adults. Also, touching the beetles can cause skin
blistering. The beetles are even used in wart removals.
Cases of blister
beetles found in salad have popped up in Illinois, Virginia, Ohio,
Massachusetts, and California.
FDA's Rule
Don't freak out, but
the Food and Drug Administration allows
manufacturers to include some bugs in their food products
without repercussion. Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations Part 110.110
establishes maximum levels of natural or unavoidable defects in food. According
to the FDA low levels of bugs and other defects pose no
inherent hazard to your health.
For example, frozen
broccoli can have up to 60 aphids per 100 grams of broccoli. Ground paprika can
have up to 11 rodent hairs per 25 grams. Chocolate can have up 60 insect
fragments per 100 grams. Canned fruit juices can have up to five fly eggs per
250 ml. Macaroni and noodle products can have up to 225 insect fragments per
225 grams.
What Can You Do?
If you do find a bug,
or more specifically a blister beetle, in your salad, you should take pictures
and keep the product and bug, if possible, as evidence to send to the
manufacturer.
Report the incident to
the grocery store where you bought it and the company that produced it. Many
companies will want to investigate where the bugs may have entered their
production process. They should offer you a refund.

"Most people don't order salads with a side of beetles"
Not true!
As the OU whistleblower mashgiach from Le Marais in Manhattan was clobbered for revealing, the French-Portuguese shkotzim in charge had "BIG BEATLES" in the salads!
& erger vee a goylem
Update on a decades old problem of, to paraphrase someone from Brisk, a considerable number of Chassidishe are the am haaratzim of this dor.
As Flatbush rabbonim have long warned, there are troublemakers from Willy who will even feed treif to Litvisher because they hold we are shkotzim, that heyos we eat from non-heimisher shgoochos, official treif is also good enough for us.
Many Chassidishe yeshivos do not learn sidrei Noshim & Nezikin, which is part of the problem.
A psak in Lashon Koidesh recently went up from dayanim warning against some hezekim that must stop. It turns out that most of the Chassidishe in the mixed Chassidish-Litvish neighborhood not only have no clue of any of the Gemaras & halachos in Shulchan Aruch quoted - but they also 90% shamelessly say out loud the second they see it that they "can't read Hebrew", period!
Then they have no interest in knowing what halachos they are oyver on so kimat none of them will take it to a Ruv or ask someone to translate for them. One yungerman who did ask it be translated was arguing against it because he couldn't understand how the Shulchan Aruch assers something which in his katnus hamoyach he feels should not be assur!

"A little learning is a dangerous thing" to quote England's foremost poet of 1711.
One reason why the psak being reported on has been almost totally ignored is because one of the very few yechidim who can read it, is a baal habus who thinks he's hot stuff because his father or uncle owns a private Satmar beis din not affiliated with any of the 4 factions of Satmar. The big mouth says "Ich bin buki in Bava Basra & Choishen Mishput". He claims the dayanim "misapplied" the halachos, but listen to him speak for a classic case of einer vus kimat veisst nisht tzeeras oisiyos fin Alef Beis. He also declared bankruptcy & stiffed his lender bank out of $118,000 which you would THINK a za buki knows that Shulchan Aruch does not allow bankruptcy to override the chiyuv to pay back the money ...
If the beetle is considered yours since it was found in your food then be aware that you can’t continue to eat until you feed your beetle. ๐ง๐ป♂️
that bug is mostly in mexico & central america with just a small part of southwest usa in it's range of habitat
frankly, the mexicans & guatemalans using the crop fields as their bais hakisay is more dangerous from hepatitis than the bug. this is why the fda says somewhere in small print that it's better to avoid eating produce from those (3rd world) countries

The dayanim were mattir putting up cameras & other devices that are gorem chilul Shabbos to keep out the trespassers. Most of them made a big shpiel that they are being "forced" to be mechalel Shabbos despite that the other way of walking is an extra 20 seconds. Not only do 99% of the hypocrites continue to walk the chilul Shabbos way but they only threatened a Litvisher who put up cameras, not a Chassidisher!
The Shvartz-Satmar trespassers recently hijacked a shul in the area & ganged up on a Litvisher victim who complained about the trespassing by telling him his membership in the shul is forfeited - despite that he paid dues for many years & recently donated to the expansion. These gangsters wrote on their WhatsApp group a shprach in obscure Yiddish that this victim needs a physical beating, mamash just a few minutes after he complained. The shprach was sometimes used in the Heim but today it's only used by alter freyer Yiddishists, or in Satmar kreizen.
All that litvak has to do is swich his KAAPOOTAAAH from left ON right to Right ON left and hell be chasidish enough...

Speaking about bugs, this recall is long over due:
STAR-K ALERT
June 2, 2021 -Sweet City Brand Nori Sheets
Please be advised that Sweet City brand Nori Sheets with the lot codes listed below have been recalled due to infestation concerns. Product must be checked before using, even when bearing STAR-K. All other lot codes remain certified.
Lot Codes (printed on the bottom of each bag) 50824,50924,50824,50924,51024,51124,51424
51524,51624,51724,51824,52124,52224,52324
Aye. The Star-K finally gave Reb Yudel that cup of water he missed (or that they missed) a couple of years ago. So Reb Yudel was graceful enough to give them some codes for infected Nori.
The part that no one knows yet - thanks to fact checking - is that the water came from the infamous waterhole on Forest & 11th.
If the Star-k finds bugs send it to Reb Yudel and he’ll get some S African Rabbi to say it’s OK.
It only aside if Reb Yudel finds it.
