KASHRUTH ALERT HEADER

May 5, 2020

In recent weeks we have seen a significant increase in insect infestation of blueberries.  After experimenting with different cleaning methods, we recommend that the following procedure be done to all blueberries until June 15th.   [It is hoped that by mid-June the infestation will have passed, and we can return to our traditional recommendation for blueberries.]

  • Prepare a quart-sized bowl of soapy water per pint of blueberries.
  • Soak and agitate the blueberries in the soapy water for 20-30 seconds.
  • Rinse blueberries in running water.

The above procedure is effective for many brands.  However, the following brands of blueberries sold in the Chicago area were particularly infested:  Sunbelle (from Florida only), Driscoll's (from Mexico), North Bay (from Florida only), and Paradise (from Mexico).  The infestation of these brands was so bad that they will not be insect-free if washed using the above method, and should instead be cleaned either by (a) performing the aforementioned method three separate times, or by (b) using the thrip-cloth method, available on our website here.
