The CRC [Central Rabbinical Congress of NY, Hisachdus Harabbonim] has issued a pesak today that frozen strawberries from Bodek are 100% OK if the berries are cooked or ground.
Jewish religious authorities have banned strawberries, due to hidden bugs that's not visible to the eye, and are therefore considered un-kosher until a new cleaning method is found.
An emergency alert was released proclaiming that even with extensive checks and washing, the berries are not to be eaten. It read: “Until now, the method of washing strawberries thoroughly in soapy water in order to remove any insects was considered by Jewish religious law sufficient. However, recent tests have proven that even after this rigorous procedure, insects are still present.
“Until this problem is solved therefore, fresh strawberries should not be eaten.”
