High Levels of Infestation Found in Bell and Mini Bell Peppers

High levels of infestation have been found in both bell and mini bell peppers, regardless of their color or origin.

4 Tammuz 5783 - June 23, 2023

In recent weeks, high levels of infestation have been found in both bell and mini bell peppers, regardless of their color or origin. We have collaborated with other kashrus agencies, and their reports have indicated similar findings.
Infestation was found on the entire outer surface of the peppers, concentrated around the stem/crown area on top.
At this time, we advise consumers to take the following steps when preparing peppers to consume:
– Remove and discard the stem/crown section.
– Rinse and rub the remaining part of the pepper under running water, either by hand or with a vegetable brush.
– Pay special attention to any crevices.
Research is ongoing, and updates will be provided as necessary.
