June 14, 2023 from the COR Detroit:
AM FRESH NORTH AMERICA GRAPEFRUIT, currently sold locally at Costco, are produce of Israel, as stated on the stickers, the plastic bag closure, and the case. (Pictures below.) These are Shemitah produce and should not be purchased. If already purchased, consult your Rav for guidance.
June 14, 2023 from the editor: Israeli grapefruit from the shmitta year has also been seen by a reader at Whole Foods.
April 18, 2023 from the editor:
Israeli grapefruits that are shmitta are being sold at Costco by Sunkist Grapefruit. Consumers need to check each bag or fruit if purchased separately to determine the country of origin of the fruit.
Currently, all citrus fruits from Israel until the next season in the fall are from Shemitah. Please consult your Rabbi.
