PREWASHED BRANDS OF ICEBERG GARDEN SALAD that normally bear Kosher certification, such as Fresh Express [Star-K], and Dole, Kroger and Aldi’s Little Salad Bar [OK], have been found recently without the Kashrus symbol on some bags. This is due to increased infestation levels in some batches, or to non-approved processing lines. Every bag should be checked for the symbol.

Insect Infestation alert - Romaine Lettuce

August 6 2019 from the CRC:

In recent weeks, there has been a higher level of insect infestation in romaine lettuce. To ensure clean produce during this time, Rabbi Langer, the cRc Rabbinic Coordinator overseeing cRc vegetable checking programs, has been closely monitoring cRc certified produce. He discovered that some batches of cRc certified pre-checked lettuce sold from Wednesday July 31 through August 6 at Marriano’s, located at 3358 West Touhy Avenue in Skokie, may still contain insects. Accordingly, any consumer who has purchased such lettuce may either return the product to the store for a full refund, or re-wash and check the lettuce at home using the “Thrip Cloth Method” as found on our website. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Kashrut alert - EARTHLY GRAINS INSTANT RICE

EARTHLY GRAINS INSTANT RICE, sold at Aldi in White Rice and Brown Rice varieties, is manufactured by multiple suppliers. Some boxes bear Kosher marking (Star-K or OU), while others do not. Check each box carefully.

Kashrut alert - INSTANT RICE or MINUTE RICE

INSTANT RICE or MINUTE RICE requires reliable Kashrus certification in order to avoid an issue of bishul akum. If used without certification, Kashering of utensils may be required; consult your Rav. [Instant rice is fully cooked at the factory and then dehydrated, and although the package directions call for a brief cooking, it can actually be made fully edible just by soaking in water without cooking.] Note: Parboiled or Converted rice that is not Instant and not precooked does not pose a bishul akum issue.
