FRESH STRAWBERRIES AT PLAYA BOWLS

We recently received this QUESTION from a consumer.

See our EXECUTIVE RABBINIC DIRECTOR Rabbi Mehlman’s RESPONSE below!

Q.  Hello.

I have a question regarding the certification you give for PLAYA BOWLS. 

A friend of mine told me that the certification doesn’t cover fresh strawberries. Can you please clarify if the whole store is under your supervision or it goes by product?
What are your standards for checking for worms?
I appreciate your time.
Thank you.

A. Hi

Correct the fresh strawberries are not under supervision as it states clearly on the certificate
This issue is spider mites not worms
There are no issues with the frozen strawberries
All other leafy vegetables are ground up in smoothies and pose no problem l’halacha
Enjoy
