3 We received the following notice from the Chicago Rabbinical Council (CRC) that should be of interest to our readers: Due to higher levels of insect infestation found in whole iceberg lettuce, the crc now recommends using the thrip cloth method for whole iceberg lettuce. Alternatively, if you do not have a thrip cloth (for whole iceberg lettuce only) the leaves should be separated and washed well (soaked and vigorously agitated for a minute) in a bowl of soapy water (or vegetable wash). The lettuce should then be removed from the soapy water and washed off in a bowl of clean water. Repeat this process a second time (soapy water then clean water). No checking required. Bagged pre-washed iceberg lettuce without Hashgacha requires only one round of the abovementioned washing method. The pictures below were taken by Tzirel Rutstein at the Bnai Torah Purim seudah 3
