There is a caterer in Monsey, based in New Square, I think called Oneg. They do mainly food service for schools. They are under New Square Hashgocho.
Somebody asked them what they use for the iceberg.(For some reason, Postiv never got into iceberg. I wish they would!)
The caterer said that New Square has their own bodkim who constantly check. Every week NSK tells this caterer what to use that week. It is different every week.
He asked the caterer again, and the caterer told him that punkt this week NSK told him to use the J&R. But it's not all the time.
Does this make sense? Are NSK bodkim reliable?
It seems that this NSK Big wig "Wagshall", has an agenda- No positive, even if we must use the infested product.
Except for the inner leaves, iceberg has much fewer crevices.
And iceberg does not have leaf miners because it doesn't have stalks. Leaf miners can only be remediated by trained mumchim. Baalabustas & layman cannot properly identify & remove leaf miners.
Plus iceberg can tolerate colder growing climates which minimize infestation.

Postiv does not have iceberg. Why not?! We need some alternative to JR
DeleteHappens to be that this week positive did NOT produce enough lettuce to supply everybody. Maybe that had no fresh stuff.
DeleteIf you want to smell the coffee you got to do your homework before you sign off on it.
bodek has iceberg. what is exactly the issue with bodek?
ReplyDeleteIceberg is a cheap product that doesn’t have the same infestation issues as romaine.
ReplyDeleteThat is an old folk tale. Iceberg is harder to clean than Romain. That is why many companies who do Romain won't deal with iceberg.
DeleteJust who is putting out old folk tales?

All the bodkinm I spoke to tell me iceberg is more difficult?
ReplyDeleteWhy else doesn't Postiv grow iceberg?
That's puzzling what 3:20 pm heard because kashrus figures have told me that iceberg is easier.
ReplyDeleteMost Kashrus figures are clueless with tolaim
DeleteWoe is lying ? Bertram or the store owner or the mashgiach?
