At the beginning of May, we issued an alert about a seasonal increase in infestation in blueberries, and we are happy to inform the public that the infestation has somewhat subsided. That said, we continue to recommend that the following procedure be done to all blueberries until September 1st:
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, and then rinse the blueberries in running water. This procedure is effective for all brands including those which were previously singled out as being more heavily infested. Two exceptions to this are organic blueberries, and blueberries which consumers pick by themselves from farms ("u-pick"). These should be washed and checked using the thrip-cloth method, available on our website here. When checking with the thrip-cloth method, be alert for worms (that resemble maggots) and other insects. If insects are found in a batch of blueberries even after they have been washed/checked three times, the berries should be discarded. ************************************************************************************ TO REPLY TO THIS EMAIL, please send your comment or question to the cRc at info@crcweb.org The cRc's app is available for the iPhone, Android, Kindle, and BlackBerry 10.
