Tarnipol removed the Hashgocha due to infestation- We notified the current Rav Hamachshir, not to certify as there are serious infestation issues, he ignored the warning! R"L

 KASHRUS ALERT - UPDATE

In recent years it has become common for companies to produce 'prechecked' items with a hechsher, and selling them as נקי מחשש תולעים, בחזקת אונם מתולעים 'no checking necessary'. Often, these items are not grown with a special system to prevent infestation [which if done properly may eliminate or minimize infestation], but is regular produce that undergoes some form of washing and checking procedure. This includes items that are מוחזק בתולעים

and are extremely difficult to clean properly [for example: dill, parsley, mint, cilantro, basil, rosemary, kale, arugula, spinach].

Often, the end product is still infested. These products are available in many local stores. It is advisable for the kosher consumer to consult with his Rov before using such products.

An example of such an end product is 'Kosher Checked' produce, certified by VK [Volover Kashrus], and available in many local stores. It is also available in Gourmet Glatt [repackaged under Bais Din Minchas Chinuch], marked as Refresh/VoIover.

The hechsher has been contacted by numerous Rabbonim and kashrus experts, and recently pictures of tolaim found were publicized. It is unclear why the product is still available.

ועל הציבור להזהר

 

If you rely on Uri N., Yechezkel A., minchas chinuch, Feingold group, Yechiel Babad, KCL, Fund, Thumim, etc. then this notice is not for you.

No Mashgichim in Williamsburg ??
How about the 5 Towns or Queens or Staten Island or any other place?

(Hope the Qveen of FF took his pills today so he'll behave when he'll put his 'no senses' hahooros.)

Ein zach that zicher makes sense is to not trust any checking from the 12:35 pm commentator. Not from under his purview for the OU, and not from when he barges uninvited into non-OU commercial kitchens in Qveens to NOSE AROUND, sputter his deyos & put on a show as if he’s episs a mon d’omar in kashrus!

Tarnopol used to be on “Kosher Checked” brand as in your picture? I thought it was only the Volover the gantze tzeit?

Actually, he’s got your number, which is pinktlich why you lash out with your indirect denials & accusations of your critics being on psych medications. How would you even know about such prescriptions? Maybe from your ‘couch sessions’ with the granddaughter of Agudah’s Moreinu Rosenheim on Curzon Rd in KG?

What country were the WallStreetApes cherries grown in? How ripe are they?

Reb Yudel, I think you were given wrong info. Rabbi babad didn’t drop kosher checked they left him. And after his hecsher was removed he still allowed their items kosher checked under volover to be used in his restaurants and caterer places.So I don’t see how Tornopol actions help the situation rather focus on the bigger picture. These fresh items should be banned by all precheck fresh companies that process them. It’s the biggest joke if people believes it will be 100 percent clean.
