This is for grapes sold in Yerushalmi markets that are EY & maybe also Europeyisher grown. Where do you see it's the same problem for grapes grown in the Western hemisphere?

Mites on Grapes in the USA is well known for the past 5 years already, Israel is just behind the times.

Reb Moshe Vaya has been publicizing the issue for a long time.

Just to be clear Grapes can have mites, thrips, aphids, phylloxera and worms. Phylloxera commonly found in California brands.

This is how they recommended years ago to clean Strawberries but then they changed their minds. Thus, I would put grapes in same level as strawberries. Why wait a few years and find out you were eating bugs all these years. Even on Yudels/Vaye Cheshbon.

Many grape species are immune to phylloxera fly infestation

In theory, but when checking multiple grape brands from California and finding Phylloxera it’s hard to ignore what’s in front of you.
