UPDATE: Strawberries, Blueberries, Raisins: "The rest of the story" They are all infested, even the ones on the videos!

All raisins (including DOLE) are still infested.

Blueberries [all varieties] are commonly infested with
thrips, scale insects, mites and maggots.

Some Rabbonim seem not to be aware of the facts and the seriousness of this issue and issued some misleading  information.

Different seasons & different localities will harbor some or all of the above insects.
Wild and organic blueberries are the most infested.
Washing may get rid of some but not necessarily all of the insects.

Some of the areas that are more heavily infested include, New Jersey, California, Mexico, Canada, the Carolinas, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Maine, etc

Therefore all Blueberries, all seasons, all locals should not be used unless they were checked by trained experts in these insects.


The above includes, fresh, frozen, dried, filling, jams, etc

Fresh / Frozen Blueberries Need Extensive Washing and Checking during any season of the year, regardless of the source- including cultivated ones.

 We checked and verified with the major growers of blueberries and other experts, and they confirmed that all blueberries are to be considered "highly-infested", more so the inside than the outside.  Contrary to other reports.

WATCH: Kosherica launches ‘Yeshiva week’ "treif" cruise?

Kosherica cruises has been machshil thousands in not providing kosher according to any standards.

Why Do the  Rabbis sanction these non-kosher cruises? 
Isn't it embarrassing that all of the Miami, Lakewood,  OU affiliated Rabbis are allowing this scandal 

Can someone like Rabbis Weil (OU), Schneier, Riskin, Heir, Herring, Lipskar arrange an "OU" Hashgocha at least?

Why doesn't the "OU" send their own staff on the cruises to witness the kashrus disaster.

Warning: Unqualified Shatnez Testers at Work!!

 

Warning: Unqualified Shatnez Testers at Work!! ­ Dear friend,   I hope this message finds you well! Recent findings highlight the crucial need to use only qualified shatnez laboratories for testing. Below, you can see the leftover linen in a Hugo Boss woolen suit, resulting from an unqualified shatnez tester's "shatnez removal". The shatnez suit was then worn for an extended period! Similarly, Vaad L'Mishmeres Shatnez recommends that all rekelach and bekeshes be properly tested, rather than blindly assuming they are free of shatnez concerns. The unfounded belief that they cannot contain shatnez should not be part of a True Torah Jew's mindset. ­ It is essential to have your shatnez testing done only at a qualified shatnez laboratory. Proper garment testing can be very challenging and should only be conducted by a qualified shatnez laboratory. The following is a list of recommended shatnez laboratories in the Lakewood-Toms River, New Jersey vicinity: Shatnez Test Center 732-901-8378 Lakewood Shatnez Laboratory 732-364-7056 Shatnez Lab of Manchester 414-334-8706

Linen Sweaters Require Professional Testing! ­ Dear friend,   I hope this message finds you well! Recent findings continue to emphasize the importance of having linen garments, particularly jackets and sweaters, tested at certified shatnez laboratories. The images in this email, feature a sweater brought to the Flatbush Shatnez Laboratory for testing.

These are from the remarks from the laboratory after thoroughly testing the sweater: This linen sweater was tested and discovered to have seams made of pure wool. The woolen yarn matches the knit yarn in both color and appearance and was only identified after careful examination.

More Shatnez Found in Non-woolen Suits ­ Dear friend,   I hope this message finds you well! Recent findings show that more non-woolen suits have been discovered with shatnez, emphasizing the importance of testing all polyester and non-woolen suits. Several polyester suits from the brand Creativo have tested positive for shatnez. Pictures are attached, showing the linen-blend taper reinforcement. These suits were sold in a well-known Jewish-owned store in Lakewood, New Jersey, not far from Beth Medrash Govoha. The buyers, aware that polyester suits require professional shatnez testing, ensured they were tested accordingly.
