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.
