December 17, 2024 from the Central Rabbinical Congress:

"It has come to our attention that in this season, some stores in heimische neighborhoods are receiving deliveries of Peppers from Eretz Yisrael without a hecksher.
These peppers may not have had terumos or maasros taken.
To avoid inadvertent errors, shoppers should confirm that the peppers are not from Eretz Yisroel before purchasing.

December 10, 2024 from COR Detroit:

"BELL PEPPERS FROM ISRAEL (red, yellow and orange) will soon begin appearing in U.S. stores, and require taking of Terumos and Maaseros. Consumers should carefully check the fine print on the package, or the sticker on individual peppers sold loose, for the country of origin. Often the same brand has some peppers from Israel and some from other locations, so each individual package or pepper should be checked. Details of the tithing procedure can be found (courtesy of Star-K) at https://www.star-k.org/articles/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/KCSmall_Terumos.pdf [Note: A bracha is generally not recited, due to the possibility that the tithing was already done in Eretz Yisroel.]

"One should always be careful when buying produce to check the sticker, bag label or original case for the country of origin. Other examples of Israeli produce commonly found in the U.S. include tomatoes, carrots, citrus fruit (oranges, grapefruit, lemons, mandarins, clementines and pomelos), persimmons (“Sharon Fruit”), pomegranates, mangos, dates, dill and parsley."
